Hi,<br><br>I'm having problems setting up hostapd 0.7.2 in order to run 5ghz band in N mode<br><br>My kernel is 2.6.33.3, my card is an ATHEROS Mini PCI-E AR9280, with PCI-Express 1X Adapter.<br><br>my card is reg set JP, which I wrote in hostapd.conf file, and as you can see I'm trying to set channel #48 in 802.11a mode.<br>
ieee80211n feature is enabled.<br>I think I'm missing something or maybe I use some settings combinaison which is not possible.<br><br>For me the ath9k module is ok as I can do a "iwconfig chan 48" (see below)<br>
<br>any idea ???<br><br>thanks !<br><br>wifiap:~# uname -r<br>2.6.33.3<br><br>wifiap:/lib/modules# lspci -v<br>02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 002a (rev 01)<br> Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e004<br>
