Subject: Getting list of found networks
Date: Mon, 6 May 2024 13:16:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <LV8PR08MB9350F79243154C9930EFC4BEAE1C2@LV8PR08MB9350.namprd08.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
Hi,
I'm looking to better understand how the list of networks are collected after a scan is done and get-networks is called.
How long does a scan run for? I am assuming the scan causes the radio to go through each channel and listen for broadcast beacons to find available APs. I have noticed when calling scan and then get-networks I can get a different amount of found APs, like either I am not waiting long enough for a scan to complete or there is some other logic that dictates adding a network to the list (too low of an RSSI?). I'm also wondering how much of this is really controlled by IWD verses the radio firmware and are these simply request sent via nl80211?
Thanks
Michael John
