Many drivers prevent use of 5 GHz channel for AP mode due to regulatory reasons and there is nothing that hostapd can do about that regardless of which version you use. In any case, it would likely be much easier to build a hostapd binary from the upstream project source code package than try to generate a suitable Debian/Ubuntu package out of this.. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
