May I ask someone for support on this one?
We would really like to make this work and I'm running out of ideas -
is there any way do turn detailed debugging on to get a better
understanding why do I get the following message back? ->

root at voyage1:/opt/ca_node/etc# iw wlan0 set freq 5745 80 5775
command failed: Device or resource busy (-16)

Thanks,
Marcel
