[Madwifi-devel] scanning takes too long

[Shaya P. <sp...@cs...>]

so I've been having problems w/ "iwlist ath0 scanning recently".  one
thing I noticed was that the error was "resource temporarily
unavailable", but if I would run a 2nd run quickly afterwards, it would
work.

this got me looking at the iwlist code.  and I realized the error was
b/c of the timeout value.  I set the timeout values to 2 seconds (as
opposed to 250 or 100ms) and it always worked.

so, is there any way to make madwifi work faster when it comes to
scanning so this iwlist doesn't timeout?
