4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Sara Sharon <[email protected]> commit d321cd014e51baab475efbdec468255b9e0ec822 upstream. When joining IBSS a full scan should be initiated in order to search for existing cell, unless the fixed_channel parameter was set. A default channel to create the IBSS on if no cell was found is provided as well. However - a scan is initiated only on the default channel provided regardless of whether ifibss->fixed_channel is set or not, with the obvious result of the cell not joining existing IBSS cell that is on another channel.
