From 96ff56419504ac6a610ff1af42330e0423242e16 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2010 14:42:15 -0700 Subject: iwlwifi: work around passive scan issue Some firmware versions don't behave properly when passive scanning is requested on radar channels without enabling active scanning on receiving a good frame. Work around that issue by asking the firmware to only enable the active scanning after receiving a huge number of good frames, a number that can never be reached during our dwell time.
