But very pity, when running on the AP mode:wlan0     IEEE 802.11abgn  is the same....

~# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11abgn  Mode:Master  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Tx-Power=15 dBm
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off

Best Regards.

Well in Us channel 149/36 is a valid channel for AP operation. So ideally
it should work? Is there any specific feature blocking such in iwlwifi?

can you try building iwlwifi with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG from make menuconfig?
It prints out the reg rules it read from eeprom? Also please post the
full dmesg.
