Avraham Stern 6b9c86466c nl80211: Replace the channel flags for VHT support
The flags that indicate that a channel is allowed for 80/160 MHz use
are divided according to the position of the control channel (e.g.,
HOSTAPD_CHAN_VHT_10_70, HOSTAPD_CHAN_VHT_30_50, etc.).

However, the position of the control channel does not add any extra
regulatory information because when trying to use a 80/160 MHz channel
all the desired bandwidth has to be allowed for 80/160 MHz use,
regardless of the control channel position.

In addition, these flags are set only if the driver reports one
regulatory rule that allows the entire 80/160 MHz bandwidth.
However, even when a 80/160 MHz channel is allowed, in some cases the
bandwidth will be split into several regulatory rules because
different segments of the bandwidth differ in other flags (that don't
affect the use of the bandwidth for VHT channels). So, in such cases
these flags will not be set, although VHT channels are allowed.

As the result, VHT channels will not be used although they are allowed
by the regulatory domain.

Fix this by introducing new flags that indicate if a 2 0MHz channel is
allowed to be used as a part of a wider (80/160 MHz) channel.
The new flags are set for each 20 MHz channel independently and thus
will be set even if the regulatory rules for the bandwidth are split.

A 80/160 MHz channel is allowed if all its 20 MHz sub-channels are
allowed for 80/160 MHz usage.

file for more instructions.


This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See
README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or
hostapd/README) for more details.

Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to
earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a
subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build
configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin
builds).
