I believe your issue is that your "regulatory domain" is not a regulatory domain but hw capabilities so this is why you asked me what values to add in case 2, please correct me if I'm wrong. In that case -- yes, you should add regulatory rules even if the card is only single band; but you can't because you don't have that information in your driver. So you should just go with what you have and that is to only provide the hardware capabilities. In that case a single band card will report according to its regulatory info it can only work on the 2 GHz band while a dual band card will report both 2 GHz and 5 GHz. The intersection is still 2 GHz. Not sure what the issue is still. Luis
