hi, ar9287 is 2ghz only. You'll need an AR9280, AR9380. -a On 27 January 2016 at 16:09, Björn Jonare <polyfemos@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I recently had need for working wireless on an old iMac I use for running FreeBSD. 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 precisely won't see anything in the 5Ghz spectrum. A command like 'ifconfig wlan0 list regdomain' for example only lists 2.4Ghz channels. > > Now according to my dmesg (relevant bits below) this card has a 5Ghz radio (as it should).
