From 80693ceb78b08baa3b66a900d9225b2cf9c6f0ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Drake Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 23:31:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: automatic IBSS channel selection When joining an ad-hoc network, the user is currently required to specify the channel. The network will not be joined otherwise, unless it happens to be sitting on the currently active channel. This patch implements automatic channel selection when the user has not locked the interface onto a specific channel. Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
