    Hello.

    On my Aspire One i have installed kubuntu, and drivers for wifi i am using madwifi. Wireless works very fine, but it only supports 11 channels (USA), not 13 channels that we use in europe. Do you think that is a problem from drivers (madwifi) or wifi card only support 11 channels from hardware?. With Linpus or Windows XP does work 13 channels?.

    Thanks you very much.

    If I remember correctly, for the europe "mode" the module has to be loaded with "xchanmode=1"

    Try the following:
    Code:
    sudo modprobe ath_pci xchamode=1
