I'm wondering, that the time is going but the restriction to use channels above 11 is continuous. I'm in the end of 2011 unable to use 802.11g channels above 11 despite regdomain settings.
I have to say, that the restriction to use channels above 11 (in my case 12 & 13) is not dependent of my NIC. I am still unable to use channels 12 & 13 despite I changed the USB WiFi dongle. From the wireless mailing list I got recommendations about Atheros chip based NIC's but I'm pretty sure...
Despite of few days of searching by web I am still unable to use channels 12 & 13. Any glue appeciated, how to deal with wifi channels in FreeBSD 8.2 and 9.0
Sorry, but this was not 8.2 I said in previous posting. I was something else, but surely it was some sort of BSD. Maybe OpenBSD I did network installation over the same wifi channel 13. Now I made quickly 8.2 installation and I am continuously getting unknown/undefined channel number 13 flags...
It's wusb54g v4 and it works fine with many windows on channel 13. It even works with FreeBSD 8.2 fine on channel 13. I'm in trouble only with FreeBSD 9 and no idea where the channels are defined/allowed.
I would like to add, that even if country is set to DEBUG the ifconfig says:
# ifconfig wlan0 list regdomain
:regdomain DEBUG country DEBUG anywhere -ecm
Channel 1 : 2412 MHz 11b Channel 6 : 2437 MHz 11g
Channel 1 : 2412 MHz 11g Channel 7 : 2442 MHz...
I was unclear in my first message. I'd like to say that I could not enable the channels 12 & 13 with ifconfig command. Despite of set county, there were only channels 1-11 available. If I tried to set single frequency (2472 for ch. 13), I got error message.
Any ideas how I go about enabling the channels above 11 (802.11g). No help from ifconfig utility. All I can get is message "unknown/undefined" about frequencies and more for channes 12 & 13. I'm sure the card supports 12 & 13 as I've used it elsewhere.
