Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: add new scan flag to indicate P2P search
Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2015 14:30:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1422189052-25602-1-git-send-email-dlansky@codeaurora.org> (raw)

Scan request (NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN) is used for triggering both scan
and P2P search.
At driver/firmware layer, scan and P2P search might be handled differently.

Add new scan flag to indicate P2P search. This flag can be used
by applications (e.g. wpa_supplicant) to explicitly request P2P search.
