[MAC80211] Radar detection management issue

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

 



	I'm doing some tests in 802.11a with ath9k driver and I found a
strange behavior.

	With iw phy0 info, I check the regulation rules. I can see some
channels needs radar detection. For test I set an AP on this channel and
I can see the beacon with wireshark. But ATH9K doesn't support radar
detection, so these channels should be disabled.

	I think the problem is on MAC80211 layer. In /net/wireless/reg.c
the function map_regdom_flags set the flags IEEE80211_CHAN_RADAR if the
regulatory domain set NL80211_RRF_DFS.
	But ATH9K doesn't support the radar detection, and I don't found
in MAC80211 a test on this capability.

	I only found a capabilities in ATH9K (ATH9K_HW_CAP_DFS), but
this flag is set and not used.

	I don't know how fix this issue. For the moment I disable the
channel when the NL80211_RRF_DFS is set (in map_regdom_flags).
