CT 4.2 kernel now supports 80Mhz IBSS

[Jorge Baranda]

Hi Harms,

Thank you very much for your aclaration. I was trying to follow your 
setup with the CT kernel 4.0, but with no success, so after the post of 
Ben, I imagine I have to install CT 4.2 kernel.
By the way, I suppose that I have already this patch in my folder of the 
kernel 4.2 since I downloaded it from git (17/09/15) after you made your 
post. Just in case, could you point me out to the patch you are refering to?
Other thing,  which CT firmware are you using (mine Release14)? 
Additionally, could you share your .config file for the CT 4.2 kernel? 
I'm having some troubles to make this kernel running and I am a little 
confused.

Thanks again,

Jordi
