It's not yet upstream, AFAIK. I have had hard time trying to figure out which option I would really prefer.. ;-) Since the patch is actually in wireless-testing.git now and I do not have that strong opinion either way, it's fine to leave it in as-is. If anyone gets interested enough in trying to figure out whether scan results are from the time after the last scan (more exactly than just guessing based on age), he/she can add that later and probably using something like a sequence number for scan requests, etc. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA
