Although Denmark has adopted ETSI we allow more frequencies than what ETSI suggests.
The relavant rlan (aka 802.11) frequencies allowed in Denmark as of November 7 2006 are:
- 2400,0-2483,5 MHz (Channel 1-11)
- 5150,0-5350,0 MHz (Channel 36-64)
- 5470,0-5725,0 MHz (Channel 100-140)
- 5725,0-5925,0 MHz (Channel 136-165)
The law also states that there is no requirement for channel separation and that the entire band can be used at will, so shouldn't that indicate that there are no limitations on turbo mode?
The problem with madwifi is that it disallows channel 149 to 165, which clearly should be allowed according the the proclamation: "Bekendtgørelse nr. 1140 af 7. november 2006", which is available here:
http: //itst.dk/static/pressemeddelelse/BEK._om_anvendelse_uden_tilladelse.pdf
See Section 10 on page 20.
The proclamation only went into effect on november 7 2006, so it's understandable that the madwifi international legal department hasn't noticed yet, but could we please have those channels enabled so we don't need to lie about the country code to use them?
What can I do to help this matter?
Is it even in the hands of the madwifi developers to fix this oversight?
I'm using pyramid-1.0b5 which updated their madwifi driver 4 months ago, ath_pci reports version: 0.9.4.5 (0.9.3) so I might be terribly outdated, has this been fixed in 0.9.3.1?
