Re: kern/174722: [wlan] can't use channel 12 and 13 (14) with my wifi interface
Hi Adrian, Just to make sure: | ifconfig wlan0 regdomain DE can't work. So I used: | ifconfig wlan0 down | ifconfig wlan0 ecm | ifconfig wlan0 regdomain ETSI | ifconfig wlan0 up | ifconfig wlan0 list channel But this also shows me not the channels 12/13. BTW ath vs. iwi: As you read in my first mail, I have the same issue if I use ndis for my device. If you can build a ndis driver for your interface (NDISulator), you should have the same issue.

That's why I suggested setting the ecm flag, setting the regdomain or country, then checking the channel list. The iwi code just uses the default net80211 regulatory domain code to populate the channel list. The ath(4) code sets things up based on its own internal channel assembly code. That's why I've not noticed this behaviour before. The net80211 regulatory domain code doesn't check for channels 11 in 11b/g/bg mode if the ecm bit isn't set when the channel list is assembled. And that only gets done when you configure the regulatory domain - when setting/clearing the ecm flag, it doesn't trigger reinitialising the channel list. Hence why I said set ecm bit, reset channel list, let me know how it goes.
