Scheduled scan for wpa_supplicant daemon

Question

I want to know how to stop the scheduled scans of wpa_supplicant daemon?

Is it possible to stop scanning which is done by wpa_supplicant periodically? Can it be done by any commands or parameters of daemon upon startup?

Answer 1

Try wpa_cli set pno. wpa_cli is the control interface for wpa_supplicant, pno is standing for Profile Network Offload. If you are running it with a parameter after pno it will start scheduled scan, otherwise it will stop it. This command will stop user initiated sched scan; to stop autoamtic one try wpa_cli disconnect.
