Well there is the "hackish" way to make the card operate @ 10/5MHz channel width and the proper way. The hackish way is to just tweak pll/clock parameters on nic_wakeup (not as Aditya says, check out reg.h and you'll find the flags there AR5K_PHY_PLL_HALF_RATE/QUARTER_RATE, also check out this report http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/15321/focus=15397), the proper way is to handle the clock change on all parts of the driver (sleep control, various phy functions, rf buffer control etc -this is why i have these TODOs about half/quarter rate channels, if you cross-reference with Sam's HAL and Atheros's HAL you'll get your answers). I don't have much time to implement and test this on the lab (with spectrum analyzers etc) but as i told you before setting parameters on hw is not the hard part, once the API is ready we'll officially (and properly) support this feature on ath5k. -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises. Have Fun ;-) Nick _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
