Dears,
My device ignores channels 12,13, but they are allowed in our country.
Is it possible to shut down defective regdomain policy?
The proper regdomain is already set:
[ 5.809776] ath5k 0000:02:0a.0: registered as 'phy1'
[ 6.276736] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x36

Strange ???
root@dvouramenna:~# iw reg get
country 00:

(2457 - 2482 @ 20), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(2474 - 2494 @ 20), (6, 20), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS

Hmmm?? What is it:
root@dvouramenna:~# iw reg set CZ
root@dvouramenna:~# iw reg get
country 00:
(2402 - 2472 @ 40), (6, 20)
(2457 - 2482 @ 20), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(2474 - 2494 @ 20), (6, 20), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(5170 - 5250 @ 40), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(5735 - 5835 @ 40), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
Even attempt of rewriting regdomain shows that a device has proper
domain in EEPROM:
root@dvouramenna:~#ath_info -g 1:0 -w 0xfdee0000 regdomain 36
......................................
new GPIO CR 00000303 DO 00000001 DI 00000007
regdomain (0x00bf) := 0x0036
WARNING: The write function may easy brick your device or
violate state regulation on frequency usage.
Proceed on your own risk!
Shall I write the above value(s)? (y/n) y
pair 0: skipped, value already there
restoring GPIO CR 303 -> 3
But channels are somehow blocked from unknown reason.

Jara
