Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Any idea what would cause all of my 5Ghz channels to be passive scanning (which keeps hostapd from being able to use them, evidently) Frequencies: * 5180 MHz [36] (17.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 5200 MHz [40] (17.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 5220 MHz [44] (17.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 5240 MHz [48] (17.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 5260 MHz [52] (18.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5280 MHz [56] (18.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5300 MHz [60] (18.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5320 MHz [64] (18.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) Another ath9k nearby, with same 'iw reg get' info and a slightly different ath9k NIC shows this: Frequencies: * 5180 MHz [36] (17.0 dBm) * 5200 MHz [40] (17.0 dBm) * 5220 MHz [44] (17.0 dBm) * 5240 MHz [48] (17.0 dBm) * 5260 MHz [52] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5280 MHz [56] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5300 MHz [60] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) * 5320 MHz [64] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection) Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
