[RFC 3/9] nl80211/cfg80211: add ability to enable TX on op-channel

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

 



The dfs master device should monitor radar channels
for potential radar interference for a minimum of
CAC (channel availability check) time, during this
period no tx can occur. If no radar interference
is detected the dfs master may initiate the tx with
new NL80211_CMD_DFS_ENABLE_TX command.
