From a806c558e01747b499201d2667818f03d79ef1e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Stewart <pstew@chromium.org> Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2011 09:00:11 -0800 Subject: mac80211: Drop DS Channel PARAM in directed probe Do not send DS Channel parameter for directed probe requests in order to maximize the chance that we get a response. Some badly-behaved APs don't respond when this parameter is included. Signed-off-by: Paul Stewart <pstew@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
