Add hardware scan callback to support cards like ipw3945 which implements the scan command in firmware.
How ipw3945 performs scan? From the patch, it looks like it switches channels (and sends probe requests) in the firmware and delivers all received beacons and probe responses through the normal rx path to be handled in a software MAC layer. This is really weird behaviour and doesn't make sense to me. Why isn't channel switching left to the software MAC as well?
+/* set station scan completed */ +void ieee80211_set_scan_completed(struct net_device *dev);
Why "set"? "ieee80211_scan_completed" sounds better. Thanks, Jiri -- Jiri Benc SUSE Labs
