Dear list,
On Debian Wheezy, kernel 3.2, I am trying to get my iwl4965 to
scan/find/connect on channels 13 and 13. As I am in Europe, this
should be no issue.
However: I can not get these channels activated on my card at all!
I tried the following:
- Using the regdom option, setting to EU, DE, or PL (I see the correct
setting in /sys/modules/cfg80211/parameters/ieee_regdom...
- Completely disabling CRDA, and manually loading regdom through iw
reg set EU/DE/PL/US
In all cases, I see some changes in the channels listed, but I never
get 12 and 13 enabled.
Does anyone has an idea on this?
thanks,
Hendrik-Jan

Your device does not support channels 12 & 13. This limit is coded
in device EEPROM. Is not possible to workaround that in driver or
user space, as (closed source) firmware will force EEPROM regulatory
limits.

Please provide output of "iw phy" and "iw dev wlan0 scan".

As attached the requested output.
