From: Riccardo Ferrazzo <rferrazzo@came.com>

Some variants of the WF200 disallow active scan on channel 12 and 13.
For these parts, the channels 12 and 13 are marked IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR.

However, the beacon hint procedure was removing the flag
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR from channels where a BSS is discovered. This was
making subsequent scans to fail because the driver was trying active
scans on prohibited channels.

Reviwed-by is implied with signed-off-by.

But what happened to the signed-off-by from the author of this change?

The author hasn't used format-patch to transmit this patch.

Riccardo, can you reply to this mail with the mention "Signed-off-by:
Your name <your-mail@dom.com>"? It certifies that you wrote it or
otherwise have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch[1].

Your mail has probably not been received by everyone since you sent it
in html[1] (try also to avoid top-posting).

Nevertheless, Greg, is it sufficient for you?
