Issue connecting to an HT40 AP that sends a Country IE

Hello,

I'd like to report an issue I have when trying to connect a laptop
running ath9k to a 802.11n AP in HT40 mode. What happens is that the
laptop cannot associate if the AP is running in HT40 mode. Association
is OK if the AP is running in HT20 mode. Here is an excerpt from syslog :

[  577.166241] wlan0: associate with AP 00:15:6d:e8:88:84 (try 1)
[  577.167448] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:15:6d:e8:88:84 (capab=0x411 
status=10 aid=257)
[  577.167451] wlan0: AP denied association (code=10)
[  577.167460] wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:15:6d:e8:88:84 by local
choice (reason=3)

What's wrong is that the Associate Request (built by
ieee80211_send_assoc) does not set the bit in HT Capabilities IE saying
: "The station supports both HT20 & HT40".

Looking into the code, it appears that both (flags &
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_HT40PLUS) and (flags & IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_HT40MINUS)
are true, thus disabling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 which is
the culprit mentioned above.

Digging further down, both flags are set in reg.c by :
    if (freq_range->max_bandwidth_khz < MHZ_TO_KHZ(40))
        bw_flags = IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_HT40;

Indeed, at this stage, max_bandwidth_khz is 20 MHz only... Looking up in
my syslog, I found this :

I'm not sure. I don't use radeon hardware, only Intel:
cat /boot/config-2.6.33-rc2 | grep -i radeon
# CONFIG_DRM_RADEON is not set
# CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set

cat /boot/config-2.6.33-rc2 | grep -i kms
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m
# CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS is not set

Maybe. I observed big activity LED light from wireless card, when system hangs.

[PATCH 3/5] This adds a refresh option to admin-update.sh using quilt.

It must run before applying all patches so an extra script will not work
so good. It applies all patches using quilt and automatically refreshes
then.

libnl, bug question, and lib query

I'll start this up with three different question, hope that's not a
problem instead of sending three different mails.

First I wonder if I should, in a production environment using the
nl80211, stick to use libnl 1.* or should I use use the git 2.0?

Second I have noticed a problem regarding reg set/get which I can't
pin down where it goes wrong (reboot resolves the issue). Following is
how I can reproduce it. Notice all the nonsense input I used. I don't
know what exactly triggers it, but the "set DU seems to be a good
candidate"
