Anyone wanting to try this, attached is the "wlan" file for the European domain (channels 1-13). Just copy it to "/etc/init.d". You should make a copy of your current wlan file first on your PC, although a factory reset will reset this to the default, so you don't really need to worry. Values kno

At this risk of boring you, here is another test. I've embedded the channel check inot the wlan script so it lists the available channels immediately after the driver has loaded. See once we got 13 channels twice in a row! Code: /etc/init.d$ /etc/init.d/wlan stop root:

makes you wonder how it really works ? Did the radio really upgraded to 7.6 firmware, I assume you tried a factory reset to to see if something changes during setup . There must be a bug somewhere or functionality so obscure that it might as well be considered being a bug. -- Mnyb --

The good news is that this should also be easy to fix. If it really is in the global regulatory domain and just needs its region code to be set we could edit the "wlan" script ourselves and test (Of course most would/should wait until the next proper update). The problem is no matter how far I lo
