Hi. How to connect to AP using channel 13 on kernel 2.6.29/Opensuse Factory?
When using ‘options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=“EU”’ in /etc/modrpobe.d/cfg80211 ath5k don’t start. On kernel 2.6.27 it works prefectly.
Sorry for my bad English.
I’m running the git1-22 version, no trouble at all. My router uses channel 13, so i assume the Atheros card in my laptop uses it as well
As far as I’m concerned setting the channel to 13 on the router or AP should be enough.
2.6.29 switched to the “Central Regulatory Domain Agent” ( <http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA#CentralRegulatoryDomainAgent>) for setting up the wireless channels. Install at least the packages crda and wireless-regdb.
Crda installed, but nothing has changed.
Wireless-regdb doesn’t exist in factory repo…
Any ideas?
It does now.
Once you have installed crda and wireless-regdb you have to set the regulatory domain with iw
( i.e. for Germany: “iw reg set DE”). Unfortunately there is no automatic setup for that in factory yet. So you have to patch the startup scripts yourself if you want to automate it.
The other option to set the regulatory domain ( using wpa_supplicant) doesn’t work for two reasons: the version provided in factory is too old and doesn’t support crda and there is no static configuration file for wpa_supplicant, which could be adapted easily.Instead wpa_supplicant.conf is created by scripting in the startup scripts.
