Here's another idea. I'm not sure if you're running CRDA, but you could
try this patch:

http://p.sipsolutions.net/8877cbe3440d94b1.txt

and see if "iw reg get" changes like this:


 country 00:
         (2402 - 2472 @ 40), (6, 20)
-        (2457 - 2482 @ 20), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
+        (2457 - 2482 @ 40), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
         (2474 - 2494 @ 20), (6, 20), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
         (5170 - 5250 @ 40), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
         (5735 - 5835 @ 40), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
         (57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 0)

If yes, then your problem will likely go away, if no you'd need an
updated regulatory database for CRDA. +Luis, what do you think?
