[AMD Official Use Only - Internal Distribution Only]

I tested Kalle's patch.  Laptop connects via 5GHz band by default.  Comcast=
 router still
crashed in a hurry.  I blocked (via NM.conf) the 5GHz mac of the router, an=
d rebooted
the laptop. Checked that the router was using 2.4 for the laptop.  Still hu=
ng the router!

What I've done temporarily is change the unlimited return value from 0 to 4=
000.
Somewhere around 5325 the Comcast router gets cranky/weird, and at 5350 it =
is
resetting the wifi stack (without resetting the entire router).

So there's no boot time flag to turn the feature off currently?
