[PATCH 4/5] cfg80211: Use 5MHz bandwidth by default when checking usable channels

From: Rostislav Lisovy
Date: Tue Mar 11 2014 - 09:05:49 EST


Current code checks if the 20MHz BW is allowed for particular
channel -- if it is not, the channel is disabled. Since we
need to use 5/10 MHz channels, this code is modified in the way
that the default BW to check is 5MHz. If 5MHz is greater than
the maximum bandwidth allowed by the channel, the channel is
disabled. Otherwise the channel is used and the flags are set
according to the BW allowed by the channel.
