My company is working on a wireless NIC driver for Linux. 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. Luis
