I think it would make sense to put this into mac80211. Could you please post your implementation somewhere? Might make it easier to figure out how to integrate it properly. I'm interested in working on this as well (I have some pending patches for ath9k DFS pulse pattern reporting), but my available time is very limited right now. Thanks, - Felix
