We are seeing the below behavior: Channel 60 in US: Initially marked as NO_IR found a beacon: channel changed to ~NO_IR. AP found a radar, issued CSA and move to other channel. STA disconnected and does active scan in channel 60.. Now, a) we can disable beacons hints for DFS channels as per wiki, so all DFS channels will be marked as NO_IR. b) up on receiving the ECSA/CSA mark the channel as NO_IR. Let me know your thoughts. Regards, Chaitanya T K.

Hi, In the Regulatory and DFS wiki it is mentioned that beacon hints are not processed for DFS channels. But i could not find the related piece of code which does this. So in DFS channels can we process beacon hints? Assuming that if AP is beaconing then there is no RADAR in that channel. But how do we handle channel switch (if we dont disconnect) then that channel is enabled for active scan? (or) should be we have something like this: --- net/wireless/reg.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) }
