Hi, maintainers
I made tests on ubuntu 13.10. I followed these steps.
From the following logs, we can see 802.11a is not supported in channel
list.
I want to know whether 802.11a supports this or not? Or 802.11a is not
used in this?
Chip is 6205. lspci -vvv is as below.
Thanks a lot.

I just check the chip 6205's spec. it said it supports the SoftAP with Mode A,
but why the AP in mode A can't be used?
Best Regards.

Hi, maintainers
The kernel version:
uname -a
Linux wind-desktop 3.13.0-test-iwlwifi #1 SMP Mon Jan 20 18:54:22 CST
2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Any reply is appreciated.
Best Regards!

So,it that mean: there is no way to fix this problem by modify the kernel and driver codes?
Though #iwconfig wlan0 shows there is modes a ?

No it doesn't work that way, based on regulatory info and HW capability
the framework will decide that.
Lets give it a try with latest hostapd from git and see.

Yeah, maybe the hardware can support 802.11a, but the driver does not
support 802.11a?
Hi, maintainers
The kernel version:
uname -a
Linux wind-desktop 3.13.0-test-iwlwifi #1 SMP Mon Jan 20 18:54:22 CST

Any reply is appreciated.

Thanks, but after I run the command:
iwconfig wlan0
it shows the wlan0 supports a b g n mode.
Can you give me a explanation on it?

I think you have the answer to your question, don't you?
By using latest hostapd, version, not works as well.

No it doesn't work that way, based on regulatory info and HW capability
the framework will decide that.
Lets give it a try with latest hostapd from git and see.
Hi?All,
Prerequisite:
iw list
If there is 'AP' in the list of "Supported interface modes" your device will support the Access Point mode with hostapd.
Second if the interface is supporting 2.4 GHz then you cannot get the support for 802.11a which supports 5 GHz.
Change the hw_mode=a to hw_mode=g
To configure AP:.....
Bring the interface down
Set the interface to master mode
#ifconfig wlan0 down
#iw dev wlan0 set type managed
#ifconfig wlan0 up
# hostapd -B /tmp/hostapd.conf -dd
It worked for me, I was able to connect to this AP.
If the interface support dual band, then you need to set the freq to 5Ghz of the interface.

cool - just send a patch to fix iwconfig, but this tool is ancient and
I doubt anybody even cares.

Can you use "hostapd -dd -B /etc/hostapd.conf"and send the output?
Also "hostapd -v" and "iw phy" as well.

Can you use "hostapd -dd -B /etc/hostapd.conf"and send the output?
Also "hostapd -v" and "iw phy" as well.

Well in Us channel 149/36 is a valid channel for AP operation. So ideally
it should work? Is there any specific feature blocking such in iwlwifi?
can you try building iwlwifi with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG from make menuconfig?
It prints out the reg rules it read from eeprom? Also please post the
full dmesg.

All the 5GHz channels are either disabled (or) passive-scan, so AP operation
will not work. (from iw phy)
Why don't you try with hostapd from git (1.0 is old)? It has changes to
handle regulatory and channel list update properly.

cool - just send a patch to fix iwconfig, but this tool is ancient and

Its a AGN card, so it supports 5GHz.

Channel 104 is a DFS channel which is not allowed in country US.
Please use a non-DFS channel like 36/40/149 and then try (or)
change the country_code which has 104 allowed :-).
You can also use "iw reg get" to get list of bands allowed, all the bands
marked with passive-scan are not allowed in AP mode unless we implement
full DFS functionality (CAC) and make the channel usable.
Also use a separate thread, dont post in other threads.
Thanks for your mail, but very pity, after checking, it doesn't as well. May you test it on your board?
# iw reg get

Its a AGN card, so it supports 5GHz.

Channel 104 is a DFS channel which is not allowed in country US.
Please use a non-DFS channel like 36/40/149 and then try (or)
change the country_code which has 104 allowed :-).
You can also use "iw reg get" to get list of bands allowed, all the bands
marked with passive-scan are not allowed in AP mode unless we implement
full DFS functionality (CAC) and make the channel usable.
Also use a separate thread, dont post in other threads.
Well in Us channel 149/36 is a valid channel for AP operation.
Doesn't work as well, we are in Main land China.....
Best Regards.

But very pity, when running on the AP mode:wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn is the same....

Well in Us channel 149/36 is a valid channel for AP operation. So ideally
it should work? Is there any specific feature blocking such in iwlwifi?
can you try building iwlwifi with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG from make menuconfig?
It prints out the reg rules it read from eeprom? Also please post the
full dmesg.

Is there any method to set the 5GHz channels be able?
Please show me the command...:)

All the 5GHz channels are either disabled (or) passive-scan, so AP operation
will not work. (from iw phy)
Why don't you try with hostapd from git (1.0 is old)? It has changes to
handle regulatory and channel list update properly.
Hi All,
If you change the frequency of the interface it should work
root@moon-ubuntu:~# ifconfig wlan0 down
root@moon-ubuntu:~# iw dev wlan0 set freq 5180 HT20
root@moon-ubuntu:~# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0???? IEEE 802.11abgn? ESSID:off/any
????????? Mode:Managed? Frequency:5.18 GHz? Access Point: Not-Associated
????????? Tx-Power=27 dBm
????????? Retry? long limit:7?? RTS thr:off?? Fragment thr:off
????????? Encryption key:off
????????? Power Management:on
root@moon-ubuntu:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
Now I?modified the hostapd.conf
hw_mode=a
channel=36
It worked for me.

I think you have the answer to your question, don't you?
I just check the chip 6205's spec. it said it supports the SoftAP with Mode A, who can tell me what is the soft AP?

cool - just send a patch to fix iwconfig, but this tool is ancient and
I doubt anybody even cares.
So,it that mean: there is no way to fix this problem by modify the kernel and driver codes?
Though #iwconfig wlan0 shows there is modes a ?
iwconfig wlan0

No it doesn't work that way, based on regulatory info and HW capability
the framework will decide that.
Lets give it a try with latest hostapd from git and see.
