p2p start listen

[Huijun Gan]

Hi, Jouni

Thanks. My fault that expressed the opposite meaning. I wonder why
wpa_drv_probe_req_report() is called first.

My understanding on  remain-on-channel is to ensure that the device is
on the indicated channel to receive the probe req frames.

And besides, for OFFCHANNEL_TX driver, after sending action frame
(like GO neg req) out on peer's listen or operating channel, how does
our own driver/device know how long it should stay on this channel, to
guerantee peer's resp? There is a wait_time parameter when sending
action frame, I think this is to ensure TX success (the max time
waiting for TX_STATUS, right?).
