Hi all, Currently WiMAX op_nap_scan supports scanning for NAP only by NAP channel info. Fujitsu devices also supports scanning by Mobile WiMAX RF profiles and also can scan whole supported frequency ranges. Actually later version of Fujitsu chip does not support scanning by a single frequency!
It is not a problem for me to add something like op_nap_scan_all and op_nap_scan_rf_profiles. However there are some open questions: 1. IMO it would be better/cleaner to not define functions just returning -EOPNOTSUPP in driver. WiMAX core could just check if function is not defined and return -EOPNOTSUPP ? This should also make it easier to add more functions later, since you won't have to update all drivers. 2. Connection manager needs to know which scanning methods are supported (instead of calling each and checking if it returns -EOPNOTSUPP). Should we extend capability flags? 3. I guess we will need to implement netlink interface for connection manager to get supported frequencies, FFT sizes, bandwidths, RF profiles and etc. Do you agree?
