Check 'iw list' for that. I've checked in regdb (2009.01.30) an it reports that I can use these frequencies (in Italy): country IT: (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20) (5170 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 20) (5250 - 5330 @ 40), (N/A, 20), DFS (5490 - 5710 @ 40), (N/A, 27), DFS I'm not sure, but in Italy the range 5170 - 5250 can be used only indoor. Are indoor/outdoor channels treated differently by mac80211 and/or ath9k? Regarding 802.11h, is its development for beaconing modes scheduled? Thanks, Albert.
