From ba2f8c18756b4a99c8cd3ab6526b2ed7a8f18ead Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "johannes@sipsolutions.net" Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:58:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] softmac: return -EAGAIN from getscan while scanning Below patch was developed after discussion with Daniel Drake who mentioned to me that wireless tools expect an EAGAIN return from getscan so that they can wait for the scan to finish before printing out the results.
