Opened l-b-m-2.6.28 task.
In brief, the problem (for me, using the ath5k driver, on an Acer Aspire
One) is that whilst the standard Jaunty kernel properly detects UK
hardware and enables the non-US channels, the linux-backports-modules
variant of the wireless modules go into the US regulatory domain by
default, and connection to my channel 13 AP fails. (Use of modparam
ieee80211_regdom=GB or "iw reg set GB" allows connection.)
Please see dupe bug 349001 for my dmesg snippets, and for the second
user confirmation to justify setting this task to Confirmed status.
** Changed in: linux-backports-modules-2.6.28 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
