From c9b99da7a5e4cb9d63d841a6e282ce59df6df57c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Date: Sat, 3 May 2014 21:14:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?ath:=C2=A0Add=20config=20option=20for=20DFS=20s?= =?UTF-8?q?upport?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This patch adds a config option to enable DFS in ath9k and ath10k drivers (with ath10k you need the AP-branch firmware). I'm not entirely sure about the regulatory compliance issues, though. As far as I understand, enabling the DFS_CERTIFIED config options implies that the device is certified for DFS. No doubt the original firmware has obtained such a certification, but not with the open source drivers. I suppose that as long as this is disabled in default builds (like ATH_USER_REGD) everything should be fine, but it would be nice to have out-of-the-box OpenWrt support for DFS. I'm also not sure whether the description of the configuration option should say something about regulatory compliance.
