Where to compile with these two options? I tried chaining the “n” to “y” in drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig for the options you mentioned in backports package http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v3.15.1/ Then make defconfig-ath9k then make, then make install After the reboot I enterd "iw reg set US", but still channels are not enabled in the 5GHz I don’t mind recompiling the kernel, I think there is no need but if there is, please tell me where these option are available in "make menuconfig” menu
