AR9380 finds no 5 Ghz - missing locale

Open majuss opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Hi there,

I tried to get my TP LINK WDN 4800 (http://www.tp-link.de/products/details/cat-11_TL-WDN4800.html) working.

Out of the box the card only finds 2.4 Ghz channels which is related to the missing locale and therefore wrong wifi channel for my country (DE). So I tried the DSDT patch (https://github.com/toleda/wireless_half-mini/blob/master/Patches/arpt1-ar928x-ar9380.txt) and replaced RP07 with RP05 (Which is the right PCIe slot? see attached IOREG) -> into device Label PXSX parent_label RP05 replace_content begin

But I still don't get any 5 Ghz Wifis showing up.

I'am grateful for every bit of help :=)

dsdt edit is correct. Do not know how to change country code on Atheros. Likely the incorrect country code is the reason for no 5 GHz.

Okay so there is no fix for that? Shame is that Tony still recommend this card to buy but nobody got it working correctly... Thank you for your answer!
