From 96f7e73938da744e718ce4817dd3e7e424624654 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helmut Schaa Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 14:49:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: shorten the passive dwell time for sw scans mac80211's software scan implementation uses a passive dwell time of (HZ / 5) which means we stay 200ms on each passive channel. Compared to iwlwifi's hw scan and the old ipw* drivers which use values around 120ms this is quite long. Reducing the passive dwell time from 200ms to 125ms should save us something around a second on cards capable of 11a and we should still be able to catch beacons from most access points (assuming a ~100ms beacon interval).
