Not all cards work with ath_info, and some can be broken by it permanently. It's much safer to adjust ath_regd_sanitize() in drivers/net/wireless/ath/regd.c. That way, you can play with different regdomain settings. > * 2472 MHz [13] (20.0 dBm) > * 2484 MHz [14] (disabled) > > *** But why I still can't access any channel at 5 GHz? *** and what's > the meaning of (disabled)? Is this due to a hardware limitation? I believe it's a regdomain limitation. > This is the situation at 5 Ghz: > * 5260 MHz [52] (30.0 dBm) (passive scanning, > no IBSS, radar detection) I think it means it should be possible to use the band as long as DFS is implemented, but it's not (in ath5k). Try other regdomains, I think some should enable 5GHz unconditionally, but please keep in mind that you may be breaking regulations. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- 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
