svn commit: r224224 - head/sbin/ifconfig

New Revision: 224224
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/224224

Log:
  This patch removes a check in ifconfig which disables HT/40 channels
  on frequency bands with DFS. All Atheros chipsets >= AR9001 support
  radar event detection on HT40 extension channels.
  
  This should be a chipset specific item rather than enforced in the
  regulatory domain database.
  
  In addition, it's irrelevant for STA mode, as the radar detection is
  done by the access point, not the STA.
