Subject: [PATCH 6/6] cfg80211: enable 5 GHz band for world regulatory domain
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:19:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1225329594-21704-7-git-send-email-lrodriguez@atheros.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1225329594-21704-6-git-send-email-lrodriguez@atheros.com>

Technically speaking since some countries do not support
some channels in 5 GHz the world regulatory domain should not
use them however APs should *not* be shipped in those countries
which don't allow 5 GHz operation. Because of this we can
safely assume we operate correctly in STA mode by forcing
passive scan and disabling ad-hoc in 5 GHz. We leave out
all DFS channels as we don't support DFS yet.
