ssid="[SSID]" specify a SSID filter for the scan
keep=[0 or 1] keep the previous scan results (1), discard (0)
dur=[scan time] time to scan for each channel in milliseconds
- probes=[#] number of probe requests to send on each chan
type=[1,2,3] BSS type: 1 (Infra), 2(Adhoc), 3(Any)
- Any combination of the above arguments can be supplied on the command line.
- If the chan token is absent, a full channel scan will be completed by
- the driver. If the dur or probes tokens are absent, the driver default
- setting will be used. The bssid and ssid fields, if blank,
- will produce an unfiltered scan. The type field will default to 3 (Any)
- and the keep field will default to 0 (Discard).

Examples:
1) Perform an active scan on channels 1, 6, and 11 in the 'g' band:
the current scan table intact, update existing or append new scan data:
echo "bssid=00:50:43:20:12:82 keep=1" > setuserscan
- 6) Scan channel 6, for all infrastructure networks, sending two probe
- requests. Keep the previous scan table intact. Update any duplicate
- BSSID/SSID matches with the new scan data:
- echo "chan=6g type=1 probes=2 keep=1" > setuserscan
+ 6) Scan channel 6, for all infrastructure networks.
+ Keep the previous scan table intact. Update any duplicate BSSID/SSID
+ matches with the new scan data:
+ echo "chan=6g type=1 keep=1" > setuserscan
All entries in the scan table (not just the new scan data when keep=1)
will be displayed upon completion by use of the getscantable ioctl.
