changing the channel without bringing down hostapd .

[Nagaraj Nayak]

Hi Janusz ,


Thanks for the reply


I looked into the hostapd_cli ,
chan_switch only gives the following help .
usage: <cs_count> <freq> [sec_channel_offset=] [center_freq1=] 
[center_freq2=] [bandwidth=] [blocktx] [ht|vht]

I further found out that cs_count stands ,switch channel after number of 
beacon frames

and freq should be channel number


For example if would want change the channel from  1 to 11 , it tried 
out the following command

 > chan_switch 500 11
FAIL
 > chan_switch 50 11
FAIL
 > chan_switch 25 11
FAIL

please let me know if i am doing something wrong or please point out if 
any correct examples are there (on the net).



Regards
Nagaraj
