Thanks Jouni,
I guess my understanding of when the methods in events.c comes into play was incorrect. Sorry, I'm new here. I am not looking to have the device adapt after group formation. I would like to affect the channel selection when the group is formed. I have been using "P2P_GROUP_ADD persistent=0 freq=acs ht40" and I’m not sure if this has any benefit or if I missed some other controls.
Regards,
Tom Sabourin

A device operating as an AP is expected to remain available on its
operating channel constantly, so it is a bit difficult to avoid
interference to other operations if any such operation would require
operation on another channel. Anyway, as far as the referenced events.c
implementation is concerned, the way to allow other operations to be
performed would require running a separate virtual interface for the AP
mode operations and then leave another interface for other operations.
