Subject: wl1251: fix channel switching in monitor mode
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fd04b4023b06eb70ab0db22e1c46924300c8320f;p=pandora-wifi.git

wl1251: fix channel switching in monitor mode

Use the ENABLE_RX command for channel switching when no interface is present
(monitor mode only).
The advantage of ENABLE_RX is that it leaves the tx data path disabled in
firmware, whereas the usual JOIN command seems to transmit some frames at
firmware level.
