    [PATCH] ieee80211: Don't update network statistics from off-channel packets. · f44349f2
    James Ketrenos 提交于
    This patch fixes a problem in the ieee80211 probe response and beacon
    reception code that would use the packet statistics for a network even
    if they were received on a channel other than that which the network
    exists on.
    
    This causes a problem in overlapping channels where, for example, a
    strong AP on channel 2 could have its beacons received on channels 1 and
    3, but at much lower signal levels.  If scanning was done sequentially,
    this means the beacon received on channel 3 would update the AP's signal
    level as being much lower than it really is, which subsequently could
    cause that AP to be passed over and an alternate AP selected.
