Currently, when the driver is loaded, I get the following:
[ 3226.948638] Loading modules backported from Linux version v3.17.1-0-g9db8a8b

[ 3227.318511] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
Then, when I do "iw list" it shows that there is no beacon available in the 5GHZ ranges:

If I update the country code to US when running hostapd, it does not enable IBSS on these channels. Is this an issue with the wifi chip eeprom or with the driver? I'd like to able to set up an access point in this band to avoid interference with other networks. Is there a way to do this?\
Thanks in advance,
