[PATCH] ieee80211: Output frequency rather than channel in scan results
In ieee80211, the output of scan results lists channels rather than frequencies; however, NetworkManager needs frequency. This patch changes the output from channel to frequency.

Re: [PATCH] ieee80211: Output frequency rather than channel in scan results
Quoting Larry Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED]: In ieee80211, the output of scan results lists channels rather than frequencies; however, NetworkManager needs frequency. This patch changes the output from channel to frequency. The driver can report both, and I think it should. This would make the iwlist output a bit longer, but kernel drivers shouldn't be written to make userspace program generate pretty output. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
[PATCH V2] ieee80211: Output frequency rather than channel in scan results
In ieee80211, the output of scan results lists channels rather than frequencies; however, NetworkManager needs frequency. This patch adds the frequency to the output.
