From e56103823716039418d099221dd2059fa7547fbf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 13:26:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: use scan while idle As idle is just a deep powersave mode for the device, it will easily scan while idle since that turns off powersave. This reduces the number of commands sent to the device when scanning. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy Signed-off-by: John W.
