We appreciate it. > As far as I know the (US american) FCC regulations the prohibit frequencies > above 2.462 GHz (channel 11) Right, channel 11 is the last one in the US. Using "wl country" might show you that your device currently runs with this setting. This is the drivers default if not changed by userland. > but this is a "european model" and in the > european countries (Germany in this case) the FCC rules do not apply > and it is perfectly legal to use frequencies up to 2.484 GHz. > The original firmware crap allows to use channels up to channel 13. Channel 13 is the highest one allowed in Germany. So issuing "wl country DE" and using channel 1 to 13 will be perfectly legal for you. Channel 14 is for example allowed in Japan, which could be changed to with "wl country JP". Only if you operated this device in Japan of course ;). > It seems to me that this is a driver bug.

Just tell it your location, and the channels are avaliable. > Is it possible to fix this? I am suspicous about the missing channels. > I can feel the bad guys crawling around my APs on channel 12-14 ;) Which is no problem if your APs does not operate on theese channels. If you only want to monitor your own AP, just stay on its channel. No need for hopping around.
