I'd honestly suggest just starting again, based on both the madwifi
and the Linux ath9k DFS pattern matching module.

The basic pattern matching technique isn't that hard. Dealing with
false positives is the tricky bit.

If someone does this, I'll even push to get the FFT data available
(AR9130 and later, sorry!) so you can do accurate chirp detection.
I'll even go through the carrier codebases and find all of the HAL DFS
work arounds and commit them to the tree.

Thanks,
