So the issue is in not being able to operate an AP on the 5 GHz band? That sounds like the expected behavior for any device that has not been calibrated and provisioned for a specific country where regulatory rules allow operation on the 5 GHz band. I understand that this may look like a regression since the commit removed functionality, but it feels like a bug fix to me since that functionality should not have been enabled by default in the first place. The goal here is to avoid inappropriate operation on the band without explicit configuration to enable such operation. In AP devices, the device should have been provisioned for a specific country to be able to enforce the correct frequency range restrictions. The safe default for a device that does not have such explicit configuration within the WLAN component itself is to use the world roaming mode which prevents initialization of radiation (i.e., does not allow AP mode to be started but allows station mode operation to connect to an already started AP) on the 5 GHz band. - Jouni _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list ath10k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
