Hi Johannes,

Here is the output of /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ht40allow_map:

2412 HT40  +
2417 HT40  +
2422 HT40  +
2427 HT40  +
2432 HT40 -+
2437 HT40 -+
2442 HT40 -+
2447 HT40 -
2452 HT40 -
2457 HT40 -
2462 HT40 -
2467 HT40
2472 HT40
2484 HT40


and "iw reg get" says:

country 00:
	(2402 - 2472 @ 40), (6, 20)
	(2457 - 2482 @ 20), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
	(2474 - 2494 @ 20), (6, 20), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
	(5170 - 5250 @ 40), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
	(5735 - 5835 @ 40), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
	(57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 0)


I captured both of these with the HT20/HT40 patch applied.

let me know if you need anything else.
thanks,
Eddie
