Subject: ath9k: issues with HT40 spectral scanning

Hello Nick,

after using ath9k spectral-scanning feature for a while in 20MHz mode, today I
gave it a first try with 40MHz and failed to get it running.

Setup is as follows: AR9590 operating in HT40+ monitor mode; enabling
SPECTRAL_SCAN debug flag and starting background spectral scanning I get the log
flooded with

Last time we discussed the spectral feature, you told me you had it running on
ath9k in 20 and 40MHz mode. Before I start digging the issue, could you confirm
that it is still doing on ath9k/40MHz?


Thanks,
