Re: Re: Reliable way to get channel width from wifi scan

2020-11-09 Thread Ansuel Smith
Thx for the link. From a quick review you confirmed my fear. In the
link the channel width is indirectly parsed by checking specific value
from the wifi (upper or lower channel presence) (vht band for 5ghz). I
think that the best way to implement this is using ubus. Since
changing mac80211 code for this specific task is aggressive, I think
that a good solution would be to move all the checks to try to
calculate the band directly in the rpcd code since we have access to
all the data from the driver.

Using iw scan?
We've done this in the spectrum analyser plugin in Gargoyle [1].
It's not what i would call reliable though as iw itself specifically
says not to screen scrape the data. That being said, it has worked for
several years now.
