>Description:
Hello,
I can't
I have this network card:
iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xe0204000-0xe0204fff irq 11 at device 6.0 on pci2
Interface setup in "/etc/rc.conf" is:
wlans_iwi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP WPA country DE"
Output of "ifconfig wlan0" is:
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:0e:35:a8:2e:f1
inet 192.168.0.30 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
nd6 options=23<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/54Mbps mode 11g
status: associated
ssid WLAN channel 9 (2452 MHz 11g) bssid 0c:0c:0b:14:cd:98
regdomain ETSI country DE authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON
deftxkey UNDEF AES-CCM 2:128-bit txpower 30 bmiss 24 scanvalid 60
protmode CTS wme roaming MANUAL
But even I'm in regdomain ETSI, "ifconfig wlan0 list regdomain":
:regdomain ETSI country DE anywhere -ecm
A "ifconfig wlan0 list channels" only shows me channel 1 to 11. Looking in "/etc/regdomain.xml", channel 12-13 should be possible in ETSI.
BTW: This also happens if I use ndis, instead of the iwi driver.
Of course, booting the notebook with Windows or Debian (squeeze), I can use channel 12-13 (14).
