Hi all
I have backported the commit above on the 4.14.x kernel used by
Openwrt 18.06.x image family.
I planned to use it with my kirkwood based router, linksys ea4500,
which use mwl8k to control two radio, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, based on
88W8366 (see: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/linksys/ea4500)
I built the image and loaded it on my routers (actually I have two ea4500)
Unfortunately only the old 4 ch shows as supported.
My question is if the modification should be enough to unlock higher
non DFS channels, or if I require some other patches, or maybe new
firmware.
In case suggestions to troubleshoot the problem are appreciated
Bye
