Commit 5f9b4afd ("Use frequency in HT/VHT validation steps done before
starting AP") modified hostapd_is_usable_edmg() to use freq instead of
channel numbers. Unfortunately, it did not convert the frequency
calculation correctly and this broke EDMG functionality.
Fix the frequency calculation so that EDMG channel 9 works again.

Hardcoded CONFIG_IEEE80211N to be included to clean up implementation.
More or less all new devices support IEEE 802.11n (HT) and there is not
much need for being able to remove that functionality from the build.
Included this unconditionally to get rid of one more build options and

SM Power Save was described in somewhat unclear manner in IEEE Std
802.11n-2009 as far the use of it locally in an AP to save power. That
was clarified in IEEE Std 802.11-2016 to allow only a non-AP STA to use
SMPS while the AP is required to support an associated STA doing so. The
AP itself cannot use SMPS locally and the HT Capability advertisement
for this is not appropriate.
Remove the parts of SMPS support that involve the AP using it locally.
In practice, this reverts the following commits:
04ee647d58 ("HT: Let the driver advertise its supported SMPS modes for AP mode")
8f461b50cf ("HT: Pass the smps_mode in AP parameters")

Using the channel parameter for validating allowed channel combinations
is not scalable to add 6 GHz support in the future since channel numbers
are duplicated between 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz bands and 6 GHz band. Hence use
frequency field for all channel combination validation steps done before
starting AP.

Using channel field while starting AP will cause issues with the new
6GHz band as the channel numbers are duplicated between the different

This adds checks to common code to verify supported bandwidth options
for each channel using nl80211-provided info. No support of additional
modes is added, just additional checks. Such checks are needed because
driver/hardware can declare more strict limitations than declared in the
IEEE 802.11 standard. Without this patch hostapd might select
unsupported channel and that will fail because Linux kernel does check
channel bandwidth limitations.

When moving a 5 GHz VHT AP to 2.4 GHz band with VHT disabled through the
hostapd control interface DISABLE/reconfig/ENABLE commands, enabling of
the AP on 2.4 GHz failed due to the previously configured VHT capability
being compared with hardware VHT capability on 2.4 GHz band:
hw vht capab: 0x0, conf vht capab: 0x33800132
Configured VHT capability [VHT_CAP_MAX_MPDU_LENGTH_MASK] exceeds max value supported by the driver (2 > 0)
ap: interface state DISABLED->DISABLED
Since VHT (ieee80211ac) config is already disabled for the 2.4 GHz band,
add fix this by validating vht_capab only when VHT is enabled.

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

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

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.

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

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
