The function being run is 
 
 net_mgmt ( NET_REQUEST_WIFI_SCAN , iface , NULL , 0 ) 
 
 If active, is there a way to ensure it just runs a passive scan?

&lt;p&gt;The Wi-Fi scans are doing a combination of active and passive, depending on the regulatory rules in place (see&lt;a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/working_with_nrf/nrf70/developing/regulatory_support.html"&gt; this link &lt;/a&gt;for reference). Generally, they are active in the 2.4GHz band and passive in the 5GHz band. We do not have a &amp;quot;passive only&amp;quot; scan as of yet, but it is an upcoming feature in NCS v2.5.0. Until then you can&amp;#39;t do&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;only&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;passive scanning I&amp;#39;m afraid. You can contact the sales person of your area for more information on when this can be expected, as we don&amp;#39;t know release dates here on DevZone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
