From 584991dccfd347cd2e1675ab262998f6c335d3c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 13:32:03 +0100 Subject: cfg80211: validate scan channels Currently it is possible to request a scan on only disabled channels, which could be problematic for some drivers. Reject such scans, and also ignore disabled channels that are given. This resuls in the scan begin/end event only including channels that are actually used. This makes the mac80211 check for disabled channels superfluous. At the same time, remove the no-IBSS check from mac80211 -- nothing says that we should not find any networks on channels that cannot be used for an IBSS, even when operating in IBSS mode.
