Can't get hostapd to start, channels are all passive-scanning?
Any idea what would cause all of my 5Ghz channels to be passive scanning (which keeps hostapd from being able to use them, evidently)
Frequencies:
* 5180 MHz [36] (17.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
* 5200 MHz [40] (17.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
* 5220 MHz [44] (17.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
* 5240 MHz [48] (17.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
* 5260 MHz [52] (18.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5280 MHz [56] (18.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5300 MHz [60] (18.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5320 MHz [64] (18.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
Another ath9k nearby, with same 'iw reg get' info and a slightly different ath9k NIC shows this:
Frequencies:
* 5180 MHz [36] (17.0 dBm)
* 5200 MHz [40] (17.0 dBm)
* 5220 MHz [44] (17.0 dBm)
* 5240 MHz [48] (17.0 dBm)
* 5260 MHz [52] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5280 MHz [56] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5300 MHz [60] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
* 5320 MHz [64] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)

Bleh...reboot and it comes up looking more normal (first 4 are usable, at least).
Will post again if I can reproduce it.

What's the regulatory domain of the NIC?
Is it some strange race condition with CRDA?

From the boot where it worked:
ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x0
ath: EEPROM indicates default country code should be used
ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search
ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x3a
ath: Country alpha2 being used: US
ath: Regpair used: 0x3a
Seems this isn't saved in /var/log/messages, so no idea what it was on the previous boot where things were more weird than normal.

Hard to say. I did check the 'iw reg get' and it looked sane..but maybe that wouldn't show the problem...
Thanks,
