From 7c89606e24cdabaceb8ca9b3c7ab866c6bcc9e38 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Holger Schurig Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:21:01 +0200 Subject: nl80211: report age of scan results Linux keeps scan results up to 15 seconds. This can be a problem for fast moving clients: they get back stale data. But if the kernel reports the age of the BSS items, then user-space can simply weed out old entries by itself.
