Hi,
I'm trying to use 802.11a channels in AP mode with my ath5k nics with kernel
2.6.34.
And after setting up crda, udev and wireless regdb, "iw list" still shows flags
"passive scanning, no IBSS" for most of the 802.11a channels (see below.)
I wonder what I'm doing wrong here?
Band 2:
Frequencies:
* 5180 MHz [36] (20.0 dBm) (radar detection)
* 5200 MHz [40] (20.0 dBm) (radar detection)
* 5220 MHz [44] (20.0 dBm) (radar detection)
* 5240 MHz [48] (20.0 dBm) (radar detection)
* 5260 MHz [52] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS,
radar detection)
* 5280 MHz [56] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS,
radar detection)
* 5300 MHz [60] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS,
radar detection)
* 5320 MHz [64] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS,

radar detection)
* 5520 MHz [104] (26.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS,
radar detection)
