Hello!
Sorry, I posted ~ same message to ath5k-devel today, but my mail account
was deleted... + posted to user mailing list... But I think it's much
more related to development.

I have latest 2.6.29-rc3 kernel and latest ath5k driver.
And I have 3 miniPCI cards:
1) Mikrotik R52 based on AR5314 - does not work at all, only attempts to
connect to AP (dmesg)...
2) Phillips miniPCI PH12127E on AR5212 and Unknown Mikrotik based on
AR5212...

I have Mikrotik AP, which is works on 2.3-2.5 GHz and 4.9-6.1 GHz (spectrum
analyzer proven) - this is based on atheros chipset card...
I can connect with my AR5212 cards to this AP on frequencies from 4920 MHz
to 5700 MHz. But I cant connect at freq grater than 5.7 GHz. At freqs > 5.7
GHz it show me nothing when the spectrum analyzer shows me excellent
signal!..

Is there hardware lock in AR5212 baed cards??? Or software?
But 5785 MHz is a legal frequency in USA...

I tried with old static wireless regulatory + I'm also used
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/iw and
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA to enable more
freqs than default without any patches*. *Kernel messages and my own
inserted printk-s says that new frequency ranges added and I can tune to
channels listed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels... For
example I can tune to 5660 MHz and it connects to AP, BUT at 5785 MHz - it
cannot connect and even see when scan... This is hardware problem? Or I need
more patching? Or I must hack eeprom, registers values?..

1) How to enable more frequencies? Is it ever possible?
2) How to connect at 2.3xx GHz frequency to Mikrotik AP?
