I would actually prefer to reduce this number _way_ down to something reasonable in the upstream kernel. ath5k should not really register more than channels 1-14 in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels that are really used (i.e., only every fourth and only at ISM bands). The maximum number would be somewhere closer to 40 than 500.. If you have a license to use other frequencies, you can take care of that with your own private patches, but the upstream kernel should not do that. Channels in 2.3 GHz or 2.5 GHz or many of the 5 GHz areas that are currently registered do not really belong here in the upstream kernel no matter what the hardware might be capable of doing. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
