From: Sara Sharon Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:46:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix ibss scan parameters When joining IBSS a full scan should be initiated in order to search for existing cell, unless the fixed_channel parameter was set. A default channel to create the IBSS on if no cell was found is provided as well. However - a scan is initiated only on the default channel provided regardless of whether ifibss->fixed_channel is set or not, with the obvious result of the cell not joining existing IBSS cell that is on another channel.
