Also, it seems that the value should be reset eventually ... at least on
interface down or so. Otherwise you can start CAC, then bring the
interface down to stop the device, and then bring it back up (CAC check
is no longer running) and then you can use the channel after some time
even though you never really checked for radar...

And if you start CAC on two different devices on the same channel, but
they happen to share channel structs in the driver then this will all
conflict quite badly.


This needs a lot of more thinking it seems.
