From 4658eb77d6a528af8b82c9c6c707511b7bff27a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chaitanya Tata Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2020 00:06:44 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Remove deprecated text for ap_scan=0 Users might be tempted to try ap_scan=0 for offloading scan, ap_selection and, WPA to driver. Update the text to reflect that this is deprecated.
