Allow the combination of 8 (AP + mesh) interfaces on radar channels
Tested with hostapd, 2 and 8 BSSIDs, 1 or 2 DFS channels, BW 20 MHz
TODO: test AP+mesh combination
TODO: test 40 MHz BW

This patch was done with quilt on Openwrt against compat-wireless
2014-11-04
Any feedback?

Hi
This mail is in my list of "potentially interesting changes".
Do you plan to send this as patch at some point?
Or are you still testing something?
Best regards
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
The patch is working for me, and I am using it, but I could not test
Much further since real-life radar situations are hard to produce.
Before DFS integration, combinations were less limited. I submitted
the patch as a RFC only, because I suspected the DFS people had a
hidden reason for limiting the combinations on radar channels.
However I received no comments.
Maybe I was on the wrong list. I will CC the ath9k maintainer now,
and try to submit a patch in a week or two.
Best regards
