[Question][Followup] Does the WF200 and its driver support "Channel Switch Announcement" as host? #14

Hi,

and sorry to open another issue, but apparently commenting onto an issue doe not set it back to open. Additionally your colleges from the Low-MAC (https://github.com/SiliconLabs/wfx-linux-driver) driver don't allow to open issues.

So, you can see my additional quest in the other issue ticket in the comment (https://github.com/SiliconLabs/wfx-fullMAC-driver/issues/13).

You reported something contrary back onto my question. MY colleges contact your official support before I opened the issue:

Original Case Details:

Case #: 00296249
Subject: Channel Switch Announcement

And they got the answer:

In SoftAP mode, WF200 doesn't support Channel Switch Announcement, and there is no plan to implement this in the future with WF200. In STA mode, the STA should follow the external AP announcements.

And apparently, if iw phy is executed on our device running yocto, it does not report back, that it is supporting channel_switch:

root@*:/run# iw phy
Wiphy phy0
    ...
    Supported commands:
         * new_interface
         * set_interface
         * new_key
         * start_ap
         * new_station
         * set_bss
         * authenticate
         * associate
         * deauthenticate
         * disassociate
         * join_ibss
         * remain_on_channel
         * set_tx_bitrate_mask
         * frame
         * frame_wait_cancel
         * set_wiphy_netns
         * set_channel
         * set_wds_peer
         * tdls_mgmt
         * tdls_oper
         * probe_client
         * set_noack_map
         * register_beacons
         * start_p2p_device
         * set_mcast_rate
         * connect
         * disconnect
         * set_qos_map
         * set_multicast_to_unicast

Could you please explain and maybe give link to the related documentation or source code?
