Not quite understanding this. Why does a STA need radar detection when the NO_IBSS flag is set?Arend specifically suggested removing these channels due to lack of DFS support [1]. I replied asking whether it was at least possible to detect radar presence and stop transmitting in order to be able to use these channels. The last response from Arend was that he was going to check on the firmware capabilities.I did not follow up with you, but I exchanged some emails with Brett on this. As brcmsmac does not support AP mode (yet) it does not need radar detection. Detection and appropriate action is coordinated by the AP.quoted
I'm more than happy to drop this patch if there's not regulatory impedement to operating on the DFS channels.Let's drop it then. Sorry for not informing you sooner. I will have a look at the other patches as well.
No problem. I dropped the patch locally on Friday and have been running with it over the weekend. I'll wailt a bit longer before resending to see if you notice anything else that should be changed. Seth
