XR3-3.65 available channels

[unwiredhokie]

I've got two XR3s in PCEngines ALIX boards with their pigtails about 2" apart. Running Voyage Linux with the country code set to Germany (276).

iwlist ath0 f shows: (in addition to the lower 5.3 channels)
Channel 100 : 5.5 GHz
Channel 104 : 5.52 GHz
Channel 108 : 5.54 GHz
Channel 112 : 5.56 GHz
Channel 116 : 5.58 GHz
Channel 120 : 5.6 GHz
Channel 124 : 5.62 GHz
Channel 128 : 5.64 GHz
Channel 132 : 5.66 GHz
Channel 136 : 5.68 GHz
Channel 140 : 5.7 GHz

Using Channels 100-112 the client station associates and I get just over 30mbs using iperf.

When selecting any channel from 116 up, the client station does not associate. According to the documentation, the selected channel frequency is 2GHz less than displayed so channel 140 should select 3.7GHz which is within the radio's range.

Should all these channels work with this card and madwifi and, if so, what am I missing to make channels 116-140 work?

Thanks,

Hello,

Is this XR3 or XR3.37 (the FCC Certified card)

Thanks,

Exactly how do I tell? I bought it from Pasadena Wireless and this is the referenced datasheet:

Hello,

You can tell by the chart that came with the card inside the static bag.

Thanks,

Mike,

There was no frequency chart in the static bag. The only enclosure is a square sticker that says:

----
XR3 Operation Instructions

There is a 2.0GHz conversion from the 802.11a channel listing

Example:
802.11a Channel 104 ---> 3.540 GHz
Frequency: 5.540 GHz

<picture of card showing secondary and main connectors>

--------
BTW, the above example shows Channel 104 as 5.540 GHz and the card shows that frequency as Channel 108.

Note that the radio card itself does not have a secondary connector though there is a solder pad where one could be mounted.

Also, the outside of the static bag shows a test date of 05/10/08, Test Engineer John Lin.

MAC address:00156D3305A7 (my other card ends in AB)

Hope this helps identify the card.

Thanks,

Edwin
