Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.29 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Hi When I load the iwl3945 module, I get this message :
iwl3945: Tunable channels: 11 802.11bg, 13 802.11a channels According to wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels There should be 24 802.11a and 11 802.11bg channels for the US regdom (I live in Canada). cat /sys/module/cfg80211/parameters/ieee80211_regdom US When I look at the available channels : sudo iwlist wlan0 channel wlan0 24 channels in total; available frequencies : Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz Channel 06 : 2.437 GHz Channel 07 : 2.442 GHz Channel 08 : 2.447 GHz Channel 09 : 2.452 GHz Channel 10 : 2.457 GHz Channel 11 : 2.462 GHz Channel 36 : 5.18 GHz Channel 40 : 5.2 GHz Channel 44 : 5.22 GHz Channel 48 : 5.24 GHz Channel 52 : 5.26 GHz Channel 56 : 5.28 GHz Channel 60 : 5.3 GHz Channel 64 : 5.32 GHz Channel 149 : 5.745 GHz Channel 153 : 5.765 GHz Channel 157 : 5.785 GHz Channel 161 : 5.805 GHz Channel 165 : 5.825 GHz Current Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) I found that channels 100 to 140 are missing from the list. This is half of the available channels that my card can't tune. Is it normal? Maybe a bad firmware? I use firmware 15.28.2.8 (debian package version 0.16).
