If I load the ath_pci module with these arguments:
modprobe ath_pci xchanmode=0 outdoor=1 countrycode=348
and I issue this command:
/usr/local/bin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc
then wlanconfig shows this output:
test2:~# wlanconfig ath0 list chan
Channel 1 : 2412 Mhz 11g Channel 48 : 5240* Mhz 11a
Channel 2 : 2417 Mhz 11g Channel 52 : 5260* Mhz 11a

Channel 44 : 5220* Mhz 11a Channel 140 : 5700* Mhz 11a
I live in Hungary, and these channels are not correct in my country. The
right channels are:
for 5ghz mode: 5180, 5200, 5220, 5240, 5260, 5280, 5300, 5320, 5745, 5765,
5785, 5805;
The wrong channels that wlanconfig shows are working well, but the right
channels not.
I don't know the atheros card type, but lspci -vvv shows the follow:
0000:00:12.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.: Unknown

If you need it I can search you the type of the card.
The same hardware works good (FCC channels) with Mikrotik OS.
I tried the "modprobe ath_pci" command, and it's variation
(xchanmode,outdoor). The result is the same.
How can I set the correct channel list with this driver?
