Thanks, applied. I think this parameter was originally used (with another name, though) for disabling the radio when a radar was detected. The benefit of being able to do this without bringing down the interface was to not lose IP configuration. Anyway, the radar stuff is very likely to take a different direction, so getting rid of this parameter should be fine. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA
