Radar FFT and PHY errors

Some later-model 802.11n hardware (AR9130 and later) is capable of reporting FFT data along side normal radar PHY errors.

This code includes a library to parse basic radar frames as well as the radiotap / bpf code needed to dump out the PHY error frames. It requires the above patch to be applied and 'dev.ath.X.monpass' to be set appropriately (see below.)

(TBD)

  • apply the patch
  • if you want to enable radar phy errors on all channels, just modify sys/dev/ath/ath_dfs/null/dfs_null.c and modify ath_dfs_radar_enable() to always enable the radar bits (comment out the DFS check).
  • Allow PHY errors to be spat out via radiotap: sysctl dev.ath.X.monpass=0x02
  • start a radiotap session on the relevant wlan interface.
