Details

good day! :-)

in some linux-distributives the package "hostapd" builds with patch "noscan.patch".

for example:

Fedora: https://fedorapeople.org/~nucleo/rpms/hostapd/hostapd-2.3-noscan.patch

Openwrt: https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/package/network/services/hostapd/patches/300-noscan.patch

this path need for switch on 150Mb/s WiFi (40MHz mode) without check other neighbor bss.

(*all* commercial home WiFi-routers (SOHO WiFi-routers) -- *not* use check for neighbor bss. they are switching on 40MHz -- always).

see: http://www.brunsware.de/blog/gentoo/hostapd-40mhz-disable-neighbor-check.html

**************************************************

please! include patch ( https://fedorapeople.org/~nucleo/rpms/hostapd/hostapd-2.3-noscan.patch ) to Archlinux's hostapd too! :)

thanks in advance! ..(sorry for my bad english)
   hostapd-2.3-noscan.patch (1.5 KiB)

Arch tries to stay as close to upstream as possible. Has this patch been applied upstream?

> Has this patch been applied upstream?

no. upstream not applied this patch. only in distributives.

upstream of "hostapd" -- not want to disrupt the standard (IEEE-802.11...).

> Arch tries to stay as close to upstream as possible.

yes. I agree to this!

if this patch will be applied to Archlinux -- it is will be good decision (because: WiFi speed increasing: from 75Mb/s to 150Mb/s).

if this patch will *not* be applied to Archlinux -- it is *also* will be *good* decision (because: it is will be *fairly* to the principles of Archlinux).

I've added this patch, because of as I understand it is useful option switched off by default.
