You can try this - works fine with my 9280 Compile your kernel with options: CONFIG_ATH_REG_DYNAMIC_USER_REG_HINTS=y CONFIG_ATH_REG_DYNAMIC_USER_CERT_TESTING=y Next set country, eg. iw reg set US And check channels available (iw list). You should get 36-48 and 149-165 available. If available, next you can check hostapd. DFS channels should works as well when you enable DFS: CONFIG_ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED required BR Janusz > Thank you > > Regards, > Eng.
