Hi there

I've an ALIX board still doing its daily routing job on pfSense 2.2.4
where a MiniPCI card serves as simple AP. I recently swapped out the
Atheros 802.11abg card for an AR9220-based Compex WLM200NX while I was
upgrading to a faster CF card. Almost all settings from the previous
card were imported properly (almost) all I had to select was the
channel/frequency.

What happened was, that the card came up on the selected 5GHz channel,
but since I had a (single) 2.4GHz client I had to switch back to 2.4Ghz
for now.

Now I realized that the card, even after applying the (several
different) frequency settings, it stayed on the first 5GHz channel when
checking ifconfig's output. The channel switching got applied after I
had rebooted pfSense.

Could anyone with a miniPCI(e) card confirm this behaviour?
- Get a console on your pfSense box and get the output of ifconfig
  where for ath<X>_wlan<X> you can see the current channel.
- In the UI switch to another frequency (maybe 2.4 -> 5 like myself)
  and apply the settings
- Check the output of ifconfig again

I'd be interested to know what you're seeing.

Thanks,
Mat
