Any hint? | Obviously, re-setting CHANNEL_DFS_CLEAR in ath_reset() only if it was | enabled is easy and it works, but I dont know if that is a correct way | to act.. | | Thanks in advance, | | G. Hi Gabriele, I think this bug has been introduced in r3774. Could you try testing r3762? By the way, STA mode has a bug on DFS channels which prevent association. I'll fix it in the beginning of next week. Regards, Benoit
