Re: [PATCH 6/6] bss coloring: handle the collision and CAC events coming from the kernel

I basically followed the flow of how CSA does it.

I actually set a random value in hostapd.conf, however one can set a 
static one if desired. having the kernel autogenerate this would not 
allow explicit values to be set.

> 3. Are you planning to add the "collision" and "color in use" event reports as well ?

these 2 exist inside the patchset, EVENT_BSS_COLOR_COLLISION and 
EVENT_CCA_NOTIFY, latter being called along the lines of how CSA does it.
