    [PATCH] ipw2200: batch non-user-requested scan result notifications · 0b531676
    Dan Williams authored
    ipw2200 makes extensive use of background scanning when unassociated or
    down.  Unfortunately, the firmware sends scan completed events many
    times per second, which the driver pushes directly up to userspace.
    This needlessly wakes up processes listening for wireless events many
    times per second.  Batch together scan completed events for
    non-user-requested scans and send them up to userspace every 4 seconds.
    Scan completed events resulting from an SIOCSIWSCAN call are pushed up
    without delay.
