When we want to join an IBSS, we first fire a scan. When a network is

This happens in ieee80211_sta_find_ibss when we call
ieee80211_sta_join_ibss.

But in both functions there is no check if we are allowed to do IBSS on
that channel.
Is this intended?
I could join an existing network on channel 8 with a modified crda
having the NO-IBSS flag on all 2.4GHz channels.
Sounds like there ought to be a check -- but what do we do in that case?
Just create the network elsewhere and hope the other one merges? Luis?
