RE: ath9k/ath10k DFS testing / certification

[Jean-Pierre Tosoni]

Hi Adrian,

Also, about ath9k:

I don't know if it's relevant to you, but we had the same problem of
NO_IR/RADAR mismatch in ath9k.
We fixed this in mac80211 layer at that time. Here is the patch. We didn't
send it upstream since
We have no experience with other chipsets, and we didn't know whether it
would be generic enough.
