Think I got this one (at least). Regulation is about /not coexisting/ on the same channel while AUTO-BW is about coexistence on neighbouring channels (within the same band). > > > 2.

Not yet there with mastering buildroot, sorry, but since I've seen f78405f landing in the repository -- which I think is the commit you were referring to -- I did try out a current nightly build (2016-11-05). But I can't observe any change in 'iw reg get' output (and I'm still not sure if iw is telling me wifi is obeying FCC rules or ETSI rules). tnx, Charles _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
