Hello there,
I have this dual band wireless adapter https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-dual-band-usb-adapter-gnu-linux-tpe-nusbdb and it uses AR9280 chipset for the 5GHz communication
It?s using ath9k driver; I have Ubuntu 13.10 running 3.11 kernel and the adapter worked out of the box
I?m using hostapd to configure the adapter as a software AP
When I tried to configure the adapter as an AP on the 2.4GHz channels it worked fine
When tried the 5GHz channels it gives me the following error
> channel [1] (40) is disabled for use in AP mode, flags: 0x77
> wlan1: IEEE 802.11 Configured channel (40) not found from the channel list of current mode (2) IEEE 802.11a
> wlan1: IEEE 802.11 Hardware does not support configured channel
In addition, iw list command shows that the 5GHz channels have the ?passive scanning? and ?no IBSS? flags
I can associate with an AP on the 5GHz though
How to solve that
Thank you
Regards,
Eng. Hosam Hittini

If you will force the driver not to fallow it, and it will damage your hardware or produce some interference with radar working on 5GHz - it will be your own responsibility. Normally 5 GHz AP should provide Dynamic Channel Switch and Radar Detection, which is not provided by ath9k_htc driver. > Regards, > Eng.

Then, thanks to your suggestions I used ?make menuconfig? to changes some settings, the following are the ones I marked cfg80211 regulatory debugging cfg80211 certification onus use statically compiled regulatory rules database cfg80211 wireless extensions compatibility Atheros wireless debugging Atheros dynamic user regulatory hints Atheros dynamic user regulatory testing Atheros ath9k debugging Detailed station statistics Atheros DFS support for certified platforms Atheros ath9k TX99 testing support Atheros ath9k rfkill support Atheros HTC based wireless cards support Atheros ath9k_htc debugging My db.txt is consisted of the following, it should be copied to backports-3.15.1-1/net/wireless/ country 00: (2402 - 2482 @ 20), (3, 20) (5170 - 5250 @ 40), (3, 20) (5250 - 5330 @ 40), (3, 20) (5490 - 5710 @ 40), (3, 20) (5735 - 5835 @ 40), (3, 20) After that I used ?make? and ?make install? and it works like a charm However, this caused a conflict with my RTL8187B driver, I needed to recompile both drivers together to fix that, ( I used ?make defconfig-wifi? instead of ?make defconfig-ath9k?) I felt that my db.txt did not work but that doesn?t matter, because the 5GHz channels are opened in most countries now I used ?iw reg set AU? and ?iw reg get? to check that Regards, Eng.
