Subject: Re: Re: [PATCH] mwifiex: fixes the trivial print
Hi Caesar,
The original log in google issue tracker show there exist AP in channel 13 after periodically scan.
Per my understand, if reg domain is set to US, channel 12/13/14 will not get chance to scan. (test using iw/wpa_supplicant).
I am curious about whether there are any diff from upper layer.
As a test, you can print the scan channel list, as below:
diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c
index a7593aa..a289818 100644
--- a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c
+++ b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c
@@ -2572,6 +2572,7 @@ static int mwifiex_set_ibss_params(struct mwifiex_private *priv,
MWIFIEX_USER_SCAN_CHAN_MAX); i++) {
chan = request->channels[i];
user_scan_cfg->chan_list[i].chan_number = chan->hw_value;
+ pr_err("chan->hw_value = %d", chan->hw_value);
user_scan_cfg->chan_list[i].radio_type = chan->band;
if ((chan->flags & IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR) || !request->n_ssids)
