You might want to read a related thread from the ath9k corner in [1]. The tl;dr version roughly is: * relevant change between v1.5 and later versions of EN-300.328 is the requirement to detect shorter radar pulses of 0.5us (before: 0.8us) * if the HW is able to handle them as is, from FW side everything should be fine to pass a certification run [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/129535 _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
