Hi,
I have 5GHz AP configured with (among other):
ieee80211h=1
acs_exclude_dfs=1
channel=acs_survey
So ACS chooses non-DFS channel on startup (most commonly 36 or 40).
Now, I'm trying to switch channel to ex. 52 which is DFS (and not
cleared yet) in my regulatory domain (PL) by doing:
hostapd_cli chan_switch 10 5260 bandwidth=20
And that results in AP interface going down and up with following prints:
Tue Oct 8 17:04:49 2024 daemon.debug hostapd: DFS CAC required: (5250,
5270): in range: yes
Tue Oct 8 17:04:49 2024 daemon.debug hostapd: DFS/CAC to (channel=52,

freq=5200 channel=40
After that it's back on same channel and according to logs CAC on
channel 52 is not done at all.
Is what I'm trying to do supported?
Should manual channel switch to DFS channel when ACS is configured work ok?
For context - doing same thing when channel is set manually (even to
non-DFS one) works ok - CAC is triggered and new channel is used after
being cleared.
Best regards
Piotr
