That said, all responsibility and consequences of using this patch, scripts, and any other software I provide are assumed by the individual using them. By (almost), I mean that the DFS bands are still 'no IR' with this patch. Inspired by the first post from twisteroidambassador/arch-linux-ath-user-regd#1, I have created a new patch and installer script (for RPM-based systems like RHEL) for later Linux kernels that will (almost) have the same effect as before. Unfortunately this patch no longer works in current Linux kernels. A patch was developed by the OpenWRT community to enable IR on these bands by modifying the Atheros driver. This makes it very difficult to use as a Linux-based access point for 5GHz wifi types like 802.11a, 802.11n, and 802.11ac. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists. ![]() Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select the operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. ![]() The Atheros Wifi card driver in Linux prohibits IR on 5GHz channels if the burned-in EEPROM is set to a 'world' domain. Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’. Modify the atheros wireless driver to enable the card to initiate radiation (IR) on 5GHz bands for AP mode
