[PATCH] DFS: enter DFS state if no available channel is found

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Previously hostapd would not stop transmitting when a DFS event was
detected and no available channel to switch to was available.

Disable and re-enable the interface to enter DFS state. This way, TX
does not happen until the kernel notifies hostapd about the NOP
expiring.
