I'm trying to track down what the problem is *now* -- why I can't even detect my 5G nets anymore. If there's a problem, I'm either not looking in the right place, or with not enough detail. What/where should I be looking at for corrrect/greater detail to troubleshoot my 'missing 5G' issue? -pgnd _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
