Hi, please Cc me into replies, I'm not subscribed. I'm trying to set up a 5GHz network with an ath9k card from a laptop - AR5BHB112 (half-length minicard with AR9380). Hostapd reports that the driver refuses to set AP mode in any 5GHz band I tried. From researching this issue, this is because the card's firmware is set to "world" regdomain, which prohibits self-initiated transmissions on 5GHz. From what I understand, my options are to: - either patch the ath9k driver to ignore the firmware' regdomain info and just leave regulatory compliance to crda, - or flash the wifi card to set a different regdomain for 5GHz Which option would you recommend? The machine is an all-purpose x86-64 server running ubuntu LTS, so kernel updates are somewhat common and I'd hate to have to manually recompile a patched ath9k with every kernel update. On the other hand, guides on how to flash the card are a bit sparse (or my google-fu is lacking). Links to any helpful guides/howto would be greatly appreciated.
