Please take a look at the following log: http://bu3sch.de/misc/crda.JPG Note the ordering of the events. Hostapd starts up and tells the kernel what country we're in. Then the kernel calls CRDA, _but_ hostapd goes on with its business before CRDA has finished its work. So hostapd does set the channel before regulatory stuff is uploaded by CRDA to the kernel. That fails, if we use channel 13, which is allowed in DE, but not in the default regulatory settings. On the second attempt to start hostapd it works fine, of course, because the regulatory tables are already uploaded. Any ideas? -- Greetings, Michael. -- 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
