The ath9k driver requires all virtual networks to be on the same frequencies.
Probably the chip designers never thought of that desire of yours... It would be hard to switch frequencies so fast as to multiplex a 2-way comm channel. Some of the hardware design assumptions being "channel switching is seldom" would allow cheaper ways of doing chips and my guess is they did it the cheapest way. Chips are all about bang per buck and high volume, so cheap is good. In the hardware world, channel switching could involve a chip component called a varactor, and the speed it could change value and thus effect a new carrier frequency is just so fast for a given design. Since varactors have capacitance, it may not even depend on the rest of the design, but just the varactor speed of switching. _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
