I've checked in regdb (2009.01.30) an it reports that I can use these
frequencies (in Italy):
country IT:
(2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
(5170 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
(5250 - 5330 @ 40), (N/A, 20), DFS
(5490 - 5710 @ 40), (N/A, 27), DFS
I'm not sure, but in Italy the range 5170 - 5250 can be used only
indoor. Are indoor/outdoor channels treated differently by mac80211
and/or ath9k?
Regarding 802.11h, is its development for beaconing modes scheduled?
Thanks,
Albert.
