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.

Patch

http://people.freebsd.org/~adrian/ath/2012-06-19-ath-radiotap.diff

Utilities / Libraries

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.)

Explanation

(TBD)

Howto

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.
