From: Jouni Malinen Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 20:12:47 +0000 (+0200) Subject: cfg80211: Allow a scan request for a specific BSSID X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=818965d3917774955fad52f87b59d690d8be9e8b;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git cfg80211: Allow a scan request for a specific BSSID This allows scans for a specific BSSID to be optimized by the user space application by requesting the driver to set the Probe Request frame BSSID field (Address 3) to the specified BSSID instead of the wildcard BSSID. This prevents other APs from replying which reduces airtime need and latency in getting the response from the target AP through. This is an optimization and as such, it is acceptable for some of the drivers not to support the mechanism. If not supported, the wildcard BSSID will be used and more responses may be received.
