Hi Peter,

Thanks for reporting this.
Event 54 is EVENT_DFS_PRE_CAC_EXPIRED

There are two places which print out "Unknown event", I assume you hit
the version in ./wpa_supplicant/events.c because of the debug level.
In this switch statement EVENT_DFS_PRE_CAC_EXPIRED is not handled, so we
should see this message in case the code receives this event.

I am not familiar with the hostapd code, but I would suggest to handle
the event like it is done in ./src/ap/drv_callbacks.c by calling a local
function and then the existing function hostapd_dfs_pre_cac_expired().

Hauke
