This is what I get out of my WPEA-127N: ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x0 ath: EEPROM indicates default country code should be used ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x3a ath: Country alpha2 being used: US ath: Regpair used: 0x3a Here's how my 5GHz channels look: Frequencies: * 5180 MHz [36] (17.0 dBm) * 5200 MHz [40] (17.0 dBm) * 5220 MHz [44] (17.0 dBm) * 5240 MHz [48] (17.0 dBm) * 5260 MHz [52] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5280 MHz [56] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5300 MHz [60] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5320 MHz [64] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5500 MHz [100] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5520 MHz [104] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5540 MHz [108] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5560 MHz [112] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5580 MHz [116] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5600 MHz [120] (disabled) * 5620 MHz [124] (disabled) * 5640 MHz [128] (disabled) * 5660 MHz [132] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5680 MHz [136] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5700 MHz [140] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5745 MHz [149] (30.0 dBm) * 5765 MHz [153] (30.0 dBm) * 5785 MHz [157] (30.0 dBm) * 5805 MHz [161] (30.0 dBm) * 5825 MHz [165] (30.0 dBm) This is running 2.6.37 with compat-wireless from sometime in March, probably. I'll try with 2.6.39 and latest compat-wireless when I get a chance. -Brian
