But it looks like you are using world regulatory settings. Try using "iw reg set HU" if you are in Hungary. > By the way the maximum bitrate shows me that the card is not using "n" > mode... I believe you are using an old version of iw that cannot report the 802.11n capabilities. With the new iw, you'll need to use "iw list", as the "iw info" command would report very little for the network devices. > The syntax of the "iw" command I used seems to be different, e.g. "iw > dev wlan0 set channel 1" gave me "No such object type set" error > message. It's working for me. Perhaps your iw is obsolete. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
