Re: [Madwifi-users] [Madwifi-devel] Help required in understandingMadWifiinitialization and card setup

You might also want to take a look here:

http://madwifi-project.org/ticket/2316

Using hal-testing  r4068 we were able to get 1/2 and 1/4 channel capability 
on 900Mhz and 4.9Ghz by setting the countrycodes to 843 and 842 
respectively. This did NOT work on trunk, however, as of about 9 months ago. 
I don't know whether whatever made it work on hal-testing has been ported to 
trunk in the meanwhile.
