Hello, =20

I recently had need for working wireless on an old iMac I use for running=
 =46reeBSD. As the computer originally had a unsupported broadcom card I =
swapped it out for an AR9287 I had in a drawer. Now, the problem is that =
while the card connects fine in the 2.4Ghz it won't connect, or more prec=
isely won't see anything in the 5Ghz spectrum. A command like 'ifconfig w=
lan0 list regdomain' for example only lists 2.4Ghz channels.

Now according to my dmesg (relevant bits below) this card has a 5Ghz radi=
o (as it should). So what should I do to actually be able to actually con=
nect or see anything over 5Ghz=3F

ath0: <Atheros 9287> mem 0xc8100000-0xc810ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pc=
i3
ath0: =5BHT=5D enabling HT modes
ath0: =5BHT=5D enabling short-GI in 20MHz mode
ath0: =5BHT=5D 1 stream STBC receive enabled
ath0: =5BHT=5D 1 stream STBC transmit enabled
ath0: =5BHT=5D 2 RX streams; 2 TX streams
ath0: AR9287 mac 384.2 R=465133 phy 15.15
ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x0000; 5GHz radio: 0x00c0



The relevant parts of my rc.conf would be:

create=5Fargs=5Fwlan0=3D=22country SE=22
ifconfig=5Fwlan0=3D=22WPA SYNCDHCP=22
