Atheros wireless card not broadcasting SSID
-
So did you try change regdomain from other than default?
-
No, I didn't. There are 3 ETSI options, should I try each of these?
FCC I believe that's for the US and the rest is APAC/Korea/ROW/JAPAN so I guess not of any use in my case.

Huh? 3 of them ? BE is ETSI that is for sure..
-
Yes, there are three different ETSI, see below screenshot:

that is new to me - but sure couldn't hurt could it ;)

Ok I just tried all possible ETSI combination and gave up, I bought a separate Ubiquiti access point and will put OpenWRT on it.
Thanks for providing some feedback anyway :)

Ok - seems unnecessary if you ask me... Their firmware works..

Mmm, I would try an SSID that is much more basic if you ever re-visit that. I'm not aware of any issue with SSIDs like that but I've also never tried to use one.
No errors in the logs, wireless or system, when you apply that config?Steve

Hmm, though my card here works fine with all the settings you had. Maybe a firmware issue?

well if anyone is wondering
etsi 2 -> <!-- ETSI w/o HT40 in 5GHz -->
etsi 3 -> <!-- ETSI minus channel 36 -->
there are probably some place in eu where u can't use HT40 or channel 36
in any case they are commented inside /etc/regdomain.xmlidk but i think you need to enable WPA to use 802.11n and i never used the "outdoor" settings. You probably had the interface up but hostapd is not starting for some misconfiguration, the SSID should not be a problem couse i have something very similar and i don't have any problem with it
