Hi, and first, thanks for your great job.
There are new frenquency freely usable in France.
- Channels in the range 5150-5350 are for indoor use only (200mw Max)
- Channels in the range 5470-5725 Mhz can now be used outdoor without authorization :
- TXpower must be limited to 1W if hardware is using TPC (3dB avg atenuation) or 500mW (3dB attenuation) without TPC.
- Hardware must use DFS.
So i wonder if this the the right place ask for an HAL update for France country table ?
And if someone could give me more information about state of 802.11h (TPC/DFS) support in madwifi -ng
I'm using madwifi-ng :
ath_hal: 0.9.16.16 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)

wifi0: Use hw queue 8 for CAB traffic

wifi0: Atheros 5212: mem=0xe5000000, irq=11
with theses parameters :
autocreate=none countrycode=0xfa outdoor=1 xchanmode=1
and i obtain these usable channels :
ath1 35 channels in total; available frequencies :
Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz
Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz
Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz
Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz
Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz
Channel 06 : 2.437 GHz
Channel 07 : 2.442 GHz
Channel 08 : 2.447 GHz
Channel 09 : 2.452 GHz
Channel 10 : 2.457 GHz
Channel 11 : 2.462 GHz
Channel 12 : 2.467 GHz
Channel 13 : 2.472 GHz
Channel 36 : 5.18 GHz
Channel 40 : 5.2 GHz
Channel 44 : 5.22 GHz
Channel 48 : 5.24 GHz
Channel 52 : 5.26 GHz
Channel 56 : 5.28 GHz
Channel 60 : 5.3 GHz
Channel 64 : 5.32 GHz
which are the same that in : http://www.nuclearcat.com/athmap.txt
Thanks

PS:
Links to the offical documents (in french).
(ARCEP is then French Authority who decides about frenquency usage)
As most of theses decisions were based on european-commission recommendations, i guess this will affect also other european coutries.
