| 114 | ---help--- |
| 115 | This option enables support for relaxation of the NO_IR flag for |
| 116 | situations that certain regulatory bodies have provided clarifications |
| 117 | on how relaxation can occur. This feature has an inherent dependency on |
| 118 | userspace features which must have been properly tested and as such is |
| 119 | not enabled by default. |
| 120 | |
| 121 | A relaxation feature example is allowing the operation of a P2P group |
| 122 | owner (GO) on channels marked with NO_IR if there is an additional BSS |
| 123 | interface which associated to an AP which userspace assumes or confirms |
| 124 | to be an authorized master, i.e., with radar detection support and DFS |
| 125 | capabilities. However, note that in order to not create daisy chain |
| 126 | scenarios, this relaxation is not allowed in cases that the BSS client |
| 127 | is associated to P2P GO and in addition the P2P GO instantiated on |
| 128 | a channel due to this relaxation should not allow connection from |
| 129 | non P2P clients. |
| 130 | |
| 131 | The regulatory core will apply these relaxations only for drivers that |
| 132 | support this feature by declaring the appropriate channel flags and |
| 133 | capabilities in their registration flow. |
