Are we missing some special initialization? > I think this works beacause we didn't integrate patch: [PATCH v5] cfg80211: fix dfs channel state after stopping AP and discussion here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/117095 Anyway I think this is a BUG while for example: 1) we can run AP (CAC) on chanel 36 2) next shut down AP 3) wait few days with loaded cfg80211 and in the same time for example move to other location (AP in bus/train) 4) we don't need run CAC again - for me this is a cfg80211 bug :) Anyway, before you can beaconing you should perform CAC, so this should be added to wpa_supplicant - currently this is not implemented. > Second, we are seeing a huge amount of radar events on some nodes, but > not on a node on the same channel in the next room.
