^^ hello everyone.
last time, I tested 3com pci card (atheros) and now testing zd1211b.
the general product name is AG-760A.(usb dongle)
(only for using 802.11a ad-hoc)
I took a look at the source : zd_mac.c , zd_usb.c, etc...
In these files, I could see the "/* FIXME for 802.11a*/ comment block. so,
I changed 2GHZ to 5GHZ and 24GHZ to 52GHZ etc..(also with productid)
the device was registered and zd1211rw_mac80211 drivers were loaded.
but when doing iwlist [device] channel, I can only show me 2Ghz channels...
how do I fix for 802.11a?
thanks.
P.S if you've guarantee stable operation for 802.11a(with ad-hoc), plz
give me the product name
( i want to know the product models using 802.11a and being supported in
current certified linux kernel driver)

It's not quite as easy as that. In order to support 802.11a you need to=
=20
add the AL7230B RF programming code from the vendor driver, with=20
mac80211 semantics added. That's not a simple task either, but if you=20
want to give it a go, you can download the vendor driver from=20
http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/VendorDriver
You also need a AL7230B-based ZD1211B device, which I'm assuming you=20
have. Other RFs don't do 802.11a
