The "no IR" channel flag means that the driver (or well, cfg80211 regulatory rules in effect with the driver to be more exact) do not allow any operation that would be initiating radiation by this device. In other words, the device can connect to an existing AP as a station on such a channel, but it cannot start an AP on the channel (or IBSS or packet injection, for that matter). This type of configuration with only channels 1-11 allowing AP mode to be started is pretty common on dualband cards that are manufactured for "world roaming" use (i.e., do not have any specific country code programmed for them). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
