I've been reading for a while now but never posted to this group... I have a large number of nodes and lot's of different atheros cards. The whole regulatory stuff is making me crazy... for g. sake this is linux, if I want to use channels that I'm not supposed to do then freaking let me... you're selling gun that can fire in some areas and even then it might not..... `iw list` says one, `iw reg` get says another and `iwlist <> freq` something completely different.. I seems it depends a lot of three things .. kernel - udev - crda ... that country 98 got me crazy on one system, had to spend a day on roof figuring it out then I flashed eeprom and loaded madwifi... Which packages should be upgraded to get iw reg set working correctly?? on one system it doesn't even send nothing to 'dmesg'.. and if you miss country iso - then you cannot do nothing without unloading ath5k ... (or other) .. I know this isn't entirely ath5k fault .. it's lots of other stuff, but I've seen patches that allow use of all channels..... I have laboratory @ home and I won't to test some cards and I CANT. I'm shitty coder, but if I knew to write I would do release like ath5k-really-really-free.com (don't take me too serious, I'm just mad 4 compiling kernel third time @ 300mhz @ CF slow flash card ..... ;P)
