For rt2x00, with it's dependence on binary firmwares from Ralink, extending the channel set seems very far from trivial. Ralink advertises compliance with 802.11j (http://web.ralinktech.com/ralink/data/RT2800.pdf). A year and a half ago I asked them directly what that compliance means (4.9GHz channels? 10MHz channel width? misprint?) and didn't get a response. A way to pull the band for rt2x00 didn't pop out at me, but if the maintainers have suggestions, that'll be great. Also, if they have some idea what the level of 802.11j compliance is, I'd love to know! -Brian -- 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
