Subject: [PATCH 09/11] wifi: iwlwifi: mei: make mei filtered scan more aggressive
Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2023 12:28:12 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230418122405.47e383b10b18.I14340a118acdb19ecb7214e7ff413054c77bd99c@changeid> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230418092814.1438734-1-gregory.greenman@intel.com>

From: Avraham Stern <avraham.stern@intel.com>

When mei filtered scan is performed, it must find the AP on the first
scan, otherwise CSME will take the ownership of the NIC.
Make this scan more aggressive by scanning the channel the AP is
supposed to be on (as reported by CSME) several times.
