Currently, we don't allow that or well, to be more exact, hostapd does
not since it has hardcoded channel list that only allows 2.4 GHz
channels 1-11. Anyway, that is about to change and hostapd will read the
channel lists through nl80211. It looks like 'iw phy info' shows some 5
GHz channels with "radar detection" flag, so it looks like hostapd can,
for now, just drop those channels when CRDA is available. I haven't
actually looked at what happens without CRDA, but anyway, that will
hopefully have similar flag available somehow (or the channels disabled
until such flag becomes available).
