fix: frequency band in config ignored #306

Closed SCjona closed 1 year ago

SCjona commented 1 year ago

When FREQ_BAND is set in the config file it's being ignored because FREQ_BAND_SET is 0. This checks whether or not FREQ_BAND is set and sets FREQ_BAND_SET according to it.

Log output without fix: ``` # sudo create_ap --config /etc/create_ap.conf WARN: Unrecognized configuration entry #CHANNEL Config dir: /tmp/create_ap.wlp7s0.conf.Ty48EI66 PID: 172965 Network Manager found, set ap0 as unmanaged device...
