            Bug ID: 216923
           Summary: iwi(4): cannot use channels 12 and 13 for DE/ETSI
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-STABLE
          Hardware: i386
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: wireless
          Assignee: freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ds@ukrhub.net

Hi, folks!

  It is still not possible to use channels 12 and 13 despite setting
country/regdomain to DE/ETSI (or any other which permits usage of channels =
12,
13).

  I'm aware of bug #174722.  Applying recommendations from that PR yield no
desired results.  Comparing to that PR -- the driver is the same (iwi(4)),
however, two things differ: the wireless card is 'Intel(R) PRO/Wireless
2915ABG', and the system is FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE (r313440).

  How to reproduce:
Run the following (on a freshly booted system):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
d610# ifconfig wlan0
ifconfig: interface wlan0 does not exist

d610# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev iwi0

d610# ifconfig wlan0 country DE ecm

wlan0: flags=3D8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

------------------------------------------------------------------------
  There are channels 12, 13 missing from the list, thus the command 'ifconf=
ig
wlan0 channel 13' fails.
