if we had set 'fixed-freq' paramter in iw ibss join command,
scan request won't be intiated in this path with the state
'IEEE80211_IBSS_MLME_JOINED'

Hi Johannes and all,
i have a doubt why we should stop scanning in the following scenario:
*we have created an IBSS network as we cannot find no other network for
IBSS_JOIN_TIMEOUT and when we had used 'fixed-freq' option, why can't we
still keep scanning in the fixed frequency?
*we create two networks IBSS1 and IBSS2 with 'fixed-freq' option and
they are not visible to each other till they had become
creators(IBSS_JOIN_TIMEOUT). i assume unless we scan in the 'fixed-freq'
they won't be joining with each other as they have their own 'BSSID'
which won't match when we receive each of their beacon frames. i will
test this scenario to
confirm. thanks in advance
thanks to Raj for his valuable inputs.
