Hi,
Few design questions:
1. Why should hostapd be involved in adding the cca IE ?
Instead __ieee80211_beacon_get() can add it in mac80211/tx.c and update hostapd with the new color after CAC.
I basically followed the flow of how CSA does it.
2. Currently, the initial BSS Color is taken from the hostapd.conf file.
Don't you think it will be better to set it dynamically upon AP startup rather than take it from the conf file ?
I actually set a random value in hostapd.conf, however one can set a
static one if desired. having the kernel autogenerate this would not
allow explicit values to be set.
3. Are you planning to add the "collision" and "color in use" event reports as well ?
these 2 exist inside the patchset, EVENT_BSS_COLOR_COLLISION and
EVENT_CCA_NOTIFY, latter being called along the lines of how CSA does it.
John
