Имеется карточка Intel 7260 AC. При попытке завести её в режиме точки доступа на 5 Ггц (либо 11n, либо 11ac, на 2.4 всё ок), получаем
hostapd: wlan0: IEEE 802.11 Configured channel (40) not found from the channel list of current mode (2) IEEE 802.11a
Судя по всему, причина в этом (из iw list):

Притом что

Если плясать с `iw reg set`, то список доступных частот меняется, некоторые становятся disabled, но ни одна из 5 Ггц не допускается в AP.
Похоже, что драйвер ориентируется на то, что задано в прошивке карточки, вот она:
iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: loaded firmware version 25.228.9.0 op_mode iwlmvm
Отсюда вопрос - можно ли как-то обойти это ограничение, может перепрошить карточку на кастомную прошивку или пропатчить драйвер?
