iwlegacy: 3945: fix hw passive scan on radar channels
Patch fix firmware error on "iw dev wlan0 scan passive" for hardware scanning (with disable_hw_scan=0 module parameter). iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x82000008. iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: Loaded firmware version: 15.32.2.9 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: Start IWL Error Log Dump: iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: Status: 0x0002A2E4, count: 1 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: Desc Time asrtPC blink2 ilink1 nmiPC Line iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: SYSASSERT (0x5) 0041263900 0x13756 0x0031C 0x00000 764 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: Error Reply type 0x000002FC cmd C_SCAN (0x80) seq 0x443E ser 0x00340000 iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: Command C_SCAN failed: FW Error iwl3945 0000:03:00.0: Can't stop Rx DMA. We have disable ability to change passive scanning to active on particular channel when traffic is detected on that channel. Otherwise firmware will report error, when we try to do passive scan on radar channels.
