Did you noticed this statement

Code:

So once up-and-running, the Sitecom AC600 works fine under Linux and even sees and connects to 5 GHz networks. But not without a caveat of-course. I needed to configure a 5 GHz channel below 100 (I chose 48) on my Apple Airport Extreme, or the Wi-Fi dongle would not see the 5GHz network and would not be able to connect to it.

lol... and here I am trying to find the right one, testing one at a time. I even thought I had it when I found mt7650.bin in my Ubuntu's /lib/firmware directory. Didn't work.

I figured it was similar to my Hauppauge 950Q usb tuner.. the driver's in the kernel, at least in openelec, but we still need to copy dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw to /lib/firmware if we want it to work. Sounded reasonable.. I just couldn't figure out which firmware. That Ubuntu package had some broadcom stuff in it, but I doubt that's it, and it also had a .tgz file that had more than 100 more *.fw's.. all of which were Greek to me.


So... how do go about configuring this channel? Is that in the RT2870STA.dat file?

ok... think I found it. Under 802.11 Radio tab in my Motorola modem's page, it has "channel".. it was at 149, I set it to 44. Rebooted XBian, and ssh'd back in... iwlist ra0 scan still only showing 2.4g signals.
