[PATCH] WNM: Fallback to full scan when BTM contains incorrect channel info

[Benjamin Berg]

Hi,

it would be good if you put the patch into the mail directly rather
than attaching it. Other than that, you should also adjust the
indentation for the nei->freq parameter.


Do you have an example of an RNR with incorrect information (and maybe
information of where the AP is actually)?

>From a logic perspective, this does not seem quite right to me. We do
not want to trigger a full scan, just because we are unable to e.g. use
the 6 GHz band in our station.

Though I do see now that there is a small bug and we should move the

  has_6ghz |= is_6ghz_freq(nei->freq);

assignment into the same chan_supported check. I'll submit a patch for
that.

Depending on what the AP reports in the RNR, maybe we could address
your problem by adding a check that the specified frequency is a valid
channel using e.g. ieee80211_freq_to_chan?
