From 07f02e4625e6d7ca5d4f3835aea9807fe1e0f9c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhu Yi Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 17:19:25 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ipw2200: generates a scan event after a scan has completed The patch make ipw2200 generate the scan event every time a scan has completed, so that user space know when to get fresh results. Dan Williams would like to go towards this model in Network Manager rather than having to poll. Signed-off-by: Jean Tourrilhes Signed-off-by: Zhu Yi Signed-off-by: John W.
