This is on 2.6.39-wl+ All the 5Ghz channels are showing as passive scanning, which makes them unusable for APs if nothing else. Any idea why this is happening? On a previous boot, I had an STA associated on channel 40 and that was the single 5Ghz channel that didn't show 'passive scanning'. I removed it's configuration so that it wouldn't associate and upon reboot I see the output below. More than happy to provide more details...
