[CONF] enable 802.11AC in hostapd

[Alexandre Epert]

Hi,

I'm here again with new informations in attachment.

I think my hostapd.conf file is in accordance with my dongle's specs but when I try to launche hostapd I've got an error :

Completing interface initialization
Mode: IEEE 802.11a  Channel: 36  Frequency: 5180 MHz
DFS 0 channels required radar detection
Could not set channel for kernel driver
Interface initialization failed
wlan1: interface state UNINITIALIZED->DISABLED

I don't know if it means that driver I use can not make my dongle work as an AP in 5Ghz AC mode or if there is another driver which is causing trouble.

Regards,
