Yes, this sounds like a bug... when wpa_supplicant "disconnects" from the mac80211 stack the flag should revert to "dfs not available". But I am not sure if you can easily detect that wpa_supplicant is not there anymore. > Anyway, before you can beaconing you should perform CAC, so this > should be added to wpa_supplicant - currently this is not implemented. Has the "802.11s support" ever been merged to wpa_supplicant? At the moment we are using neither wpa_supplicant nor hostapd... when we use encryption, we use the authsae tool from the open802.11s page. >> Second, we are seeing a huge amount of radar events on some nodes, but >> not on a node on the same channel in the next room.
