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
