Hello Jouni, I would consider this series as ready. In brief, patches 1-3 contain preparatory refactoring changes including minor enhancements for channel sanity check in chan_switch hostapd_cli command. The actual changes are the last two patches. The primary reason for calling this RFC was to get some feedback regarding the change of behavior of chan_switch command. Previously it did not work for DFS channels, now it starts CAC when needed and then switches to the selected DFS channel. Regards, Sergey
