I have some problems using ath5k driver with Atheros (AR5414) DCMA-86P2 mini-PCI modules. I am developing DSRC/WAVE system for car to car communication based on 802.11p standard. DCMA-86P2 modules are designed to operate at 5GHz dedicated band (5,86-5,92GHz) The first problem is that Linux shows that hardware works in 802.11a mode. And "iw list"' shows only 802.11a allowed channels at frequencies: 5180-5825MHz. By following Linux-wireless manual I installed latest kernel, kernel headers, wireless-tools, iw, CRDA and verified that ath5k module is running. I need to enable 802.11p standard frequencies. How can I accomplish this? I found that CRDA is responsible for allowed channels. So, where can I get binary frequency/channel database to use my hardware for researching purposes ? Is there an alternative method to enable 802.11p frequencies by modifying ath5k driver ?
