Scanning can be offloaded to the firmware. To that end, the driver
prepares a list of channels to scan, including periodic visits back to
the operating channel, and sends the list to the firmware.
When the channel list is too long to fit in a single H2C message, the
driver splits the list, sends the first part, and tells the firmware to
scan. When the scan is complete, the driver sends the next part of the
list and tells the firmware to scan.
When the last channel that fit in the H2C message is the operating
channel something seems to go wrong in the firmware. It will
acknowledge receiving the list of channels but apparently it will not
do anything more. The AP can't be pinged anymore. The driver still
receives beacons, though.
One way to avoid this is to split the list of channels before the
operating channel.
Affected devices:
* RTL8851BU with firmware 0.29.41.3
* RTL8832BU with firmware 0.29.29.8
* RTL8852BE with firmware 0.29.29.8
