In case of incorrect HT40 configuration as part of an attempt to create
a 80 MHz AP, iface->conf->vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx and
iface->conf->vht_oper_centr_freq_seg1_idx are zero'ed, but
iface->conf->vht_oper_chwidth remains VHT_CHANWIDTH_80MHZ. This causes
the logic in dfs_get_start_chan_idx to fail.
Fix this by setting iface->conf->vht_oper_chwidth to
VHT_CHANWIDTH_USE_HT when zero'ing the center frequency parameters.

This is to comply with uniform spreading requirement for ETSI domain
(section 4.7.2.7 in EN 301 893 - V1.8.1). ETSI uniform spreading
requires equal probability for the usable channels. The previous channel
selection logic after a radar detection did not fully comply with the
uniform spreading requirement for the domain by ignoring DFS channels.
Consider DFS channels also during channel selection when the current DFS
domain is ETSI.

When an AP is started on the 5.2 GHz band with 40 MHz bandwidth, a
scan is issued in order to handle 20/40 MHz coexistence. However,
the scan is issued even if iface->conf->no_pri_sec_switch is set,
which is redundant.
Fix this by checking iface->conf->no_pri_sec_switch before starting
the scan.

Do not allow 40 MHz co-ex PRI/SEC switch to force us to change our PRI
channel if we have an existing connection on the selected PRI channel
since doing multi-channel concurrency is likely to cause more harm than
using different PRI/SEC selection in environment with multiple BSSes on
these two channels with mixed 20 MHz or PRI channel selection.

This needs to find the PRI channel also in cases where the affected
channel is the SEC channel of a 40 MHz BSS, so need to include the
scanning coverage here to be 40 MHz from the center frequency. Without
this, it was possible to miss a neighboring 40 MHz BSS that was at the
other end of the 2.4 GHz band and had its PRI channel further away from
the local BSS.

Before starting a 20/40 MHz BSS on the 2.4 GHz band, a 40-MHz-capable HT
AP is required by the rules defined in IEEE Std 802.11-2012 10.15.5 to
examine the channels of the current operational regulatory domain to
determine whether the operation of a 20/40 MHz BSS might unfairly
interfere with the operation of existing 20 MHz BSSs. The AP (or some of
its associated HT STAs) is required to scan all of the channels of the
current regulatory domain in order to ascertain the operating channels
of any existing 20 MHz BSSs and 20/40 MHz BSSs. (IEEE 802.11-2012 S.5.2

Extend the minimal HT 20/40 co-ex support to include dynamic changes
during the lifetime of the BSS. If any STA connects to a 2.4 GHz AP with
40 MHz intolerant bit set then the AP will switch to 20 MHz operating

If for a period of time specified by OBSS delay factor and OBSS scan
interval AP does not have any information about 40 MHz intolerant STAs,
the BSS is switched from HT20 to HT40 mode.

Secondary channel was compared incorrectly (-4/4 vs. actual channel
number) which broke matching neighboring 40 MHz BSSes and only the

both rules to switch pri/sec channels could end up getting applied in a

The regulatory rules in Japan do not allow OFDM to be used on channel
14. While this was to some extend assumed to be enforced by drivers
(many of which apparently don't), it is safer to make hostapd enforce
this by disabling any OFDM-related functionality. This tries to avoid
backwards compatibility issues by downgrading the mode rather than
rejecting the invalid configuration.
