Hi,
I'm not sure I get it right:
I have an ath5k card without a country code in EEPROM. I think such card
is supposed to not force any additional restrictions, am I wrong?
The problem is "no country code" is effectively equal to US, i.e. it's
forcing additional US restrictions no matter what the actual regdomain
is.
Linux 2.6.33.
ath5k 0000:00:0d.0: registered as 'phy0'
ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x0
ath: EEPROM indicates default country code should be used
ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search
ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x3a
ath: Country alpha2 being used: US
ath: Regpair used: 0x3a
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59, PHY: 0x43)
ath5k phy0: RF5112B multiband radio found (0x36)
cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: US
cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: US
(start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp)
(2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2700 mBm)
(5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 1700 mBm)
(5250000 KHz - 5330000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm)
(5490000 KHz - 5600000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm)
(5650000 KHz - 5710000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm)
(5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 3000 mBm)
Then I "iw reg set PL":
cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: PL
cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: PL
(start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp)
(2402000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm)
(5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm)
(5250000 KHz - 5330000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm)
(5490000 KHz - 5710000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2700 mBm)
and I still get:
# iw list|grep disabled
* 2467 MHz [12] (disabled)
* 2472 MHz [13] (disabled)
* 2484 MHz [14] (disabled)
* 5600 MHz [120] (disabled)
* 5620 MHz [124] (disabled)
* 5640 MHz [128] (disabled)
while at least channels 12 and 13 should be enabled here (and they are
when I plug a card with European country code).
I'm told ath9k does the same.
Comments?
Please Cc: me, thanks.
