[PATCH 2/9] [{mac|nl}80211] Add 2 new radar channel flags

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

 



DFS introduces 2 new flags a channel requiring radar detection
might take. The interference flag indicates that interference was
detected either during CAC or in-service monitoring and the
channel is not to be used for the NOP period. The clear flag
indicates that during a full CAC no interference was detected and
it is allowed to open a BSS on that channel. The case were both
flags are set is used to indicate that interference has been
detected and we are in progress of closing on that channel.
