Allow active scanning and frame injection on channels marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR iff the channel is also marked with IEEE80211_CHAN_INDOOR_ONLY and the wireless core thinks that it operates in an indoor environment. Signed-off-by: Ilan Peer <redacted>I don't see why being indoor should allow to override the NO-IR flag. I do see however why being indoor should enable to IR if you are IR if you have the indoor flag. Enabling to IR if you are indoor for all NO-IR channels is... pretty permissive I do not see the correlation.
Make sense. I did not have such relaxations defined, just thought that similar relaxations could also be used in cases of scanning etc. but I guess this is not always true.
