Ok so ... this is lacking a lot of information. The state "channel is not explicitly set" doesn't even really exist either for AP mode. I'm assuming you're talking about AP mode since you never actually said so ...... Since there's no "channel unset" state, you'd want to have some sort of "please select a good channel and tell me" when you do START_AP in nl80211, or something like that, right? Please think about this a bit more. johannes -- 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
