Can someone tell me how much of 802.11h is supported by Linux? What is the plan for completing it enough so that it implements a client which complies with the specification?
What needs to be implemented in the wireless NIC driver to support 802.11h? My company is working on a wireless NIC driver for Linux.

What part of 11h are you looking for. We have pending implementation
for everything that is under must requirement for BSS mode. Radar
detection is not implemented.

Please post the patches, even if its in a temp directory.

We have no 11h support in mac80211. Not too sure what part would be
required in drivers. First step would be to disable using all 11h
channels for now as we don't have support for it. In wireless-testing
you can check for this if the channel flag has IEEE80211_CHAN_RADAR.
Some initial 11h patches were posted a while back for RFC, you can
search for those as well. We will soon look into this as well if its
not yet completed.

I'm looking for the stuff which is required to implement a client device. That is a device which does not implement radar detection.
Is there a schedule for when this stuff will be integrated into the kernel?
