Hi, I'm just reviewing the zd1211 code and I'm wondering about the semantics of SIOCSIWFREQ and actually, what is good for. It looks like that softmac's set_channel can be called at any time and will ignore any settings of SIOCSIWFREQ even it is has been given the flag IW_FREQ_FIXED.
Following questions come to mind: - Is SIOCSIWFREQ allowed while associated? - If the flag IW_FREQ_FIXED is set, should all activitity including scanning only be allowed on this frequency? (Actually a better would even be to work with channel/frequency sets. These sets would make a lot of sense for parallel scanning whith more than one device.) - Is there any use of the control, if the frequency is not fixed? SIOCSIWFREQ and SIOCGIWFREQ appear to be good candidates to be included in the softmac. If I would have a rough idea, what the semantics should be, I would even volunteer to implement it.
