The system is unable to start/complete the DFS-CAC functionality despite having the DFS-CAC option enabled in the conf file. As a result, the hostapd programme is always waiting for the system to complete DFS-CAC configuration. Is there a problem with the hospad programme, or do I need to enable any other settings? Does the Wi-Fi hardware and driver used on that system support operation on DFS channels and in particular, radar detection? -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
