[PATCH v2 5/5] DFS: switch to background radar channel if available

Lorenzo Bianconi lorenzo at kernel.org
Sun Mar 6 11:34:14 PST 2022


On radar detection on the main chain switch to the channel monitored
by the background chain if we have already performed the CAC there.
If a radar pattern is reported on the background chain, just select a
new random channel according to the regulations for monitoring.
