I have 802.11n cards with an atheros chipset with no default country domain. Upon initialization, crda is set to US domain, after which I try to change it to another domain, the driver only accepts further limitations: i.e. if a channel is allowed in the US but not in Belgium, it is disabled, but the other way round: if a channel is not allowed in the US, but is allowed in Belgium it is not enabled.
"no default country domain" :-??? # dmesg | grep ath: look for: ath: EEPROM regdomain: XXX ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map ath: Country alpha2 being used: XX ath: Regpair used: XXX This is a Atheros *driver* feature. Channels are restricted based on the EEPROM value. And crda/wireless-regdb only can makes things _worse_. Solutions: - modify the driver - reprogramming of the EEPROM - buy another board and keep away from Atheros chipsets You should read: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath#Regulatory http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=125072768530674 http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=125078520924477 http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/wireless.utilities?s[]=regulatory#iw see "Note:" In linux source code, see regd* files: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tree;f=drivers/net/wireless/ath -- 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
