[v3,4/4] dpp: scan to pick up extra frequencies when enrolling

Commit Message

James Prestwood Nov. 13, 2023, 5:54 p.m. UTC

The DPP-PKEX spec provides a very limited list of frequencies used
to discover configurators, only 3 on 2.4 and 5GHz bands. Since
configurators (at least in IWD's implementation) are only allowed
on the current operating frequency its very unlikely an enrollee
will find a configurator on these frequencies out of the entire
spectrum.

The spec does mention that the 3 default frequencies should be used
"In lieu of specific channel information obtained in a manner outside
the scope of this specification, ...". This allows the implementation
some flexibility in using a broader range of frequencies.

To increase the chances of finding a configurator shared code
enrollees will first issue a scan to determine what access points are
around, then iterate these frequencies. This is especially helpful
when the configurators are IWD-based since we know that they'll be
on the same channels as the APs in the area.
