Anyway, that is about to change and hostapd will read the channel lists through nl80211. It looks like 'iw phy info' shows some 5 GHz channels with "radar detection" flag, so it looks like hostapd can, for now, just drop those channels when CRDA is available. I haven't actually looked at what happens without CRDA, but anyway, that will hopefully have similar flag available somehow (or the channels disabled until such flag becomes available). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
