Is that on purpose? Or was this supposed to be vht_oper_chwidth=1 for a 80 MHz VHT channel? > vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx=42 42 would be the centered frequency center channel number for 36 primary channel only if this were a 80 MHz channel, so the combination here is invalid. You would either need to change this to use vht_oper_chwidth=1 or set vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx=0 if you want to use a 40 MHz channel. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
