Cannot use 80MHz channel

[Li Sun]

Hi,

I am trying to play around with the ath10k driver. I have two Qualcomm
Atheros QCA9880 Version 2 802.11ac chipsets. I put one of the cards in
AP mode using hostapd and connect the other one as a client.

I am using the hostapd config mentioned at
"wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k/configuration". The
client connects but the throughput is just around 300 Mbps (suggesting
40 MHz channel-width) and NOT any higher. It seems I am unable to use
the 80 MHz channel-width. Also, when I checked the kernel logs
(dmesg), I found the following message on the client side only:

capabilities/regulatory prevented using AP HT/VHT configuration, downgraded


Could this problem be related to CRDA ? I am in the US.

I am using the following config to build the driver:

kernel 3.6.3-030603-generic
