这篇文章讲述的是在ubuntu14.04系统上使用WIFI功能5GHz频率的问题，问题本身不大，但基于笔者经验和认知，还是走了些弯路，这里记录一下解决过程，写点东西，留点回忆。
遇到问题
对于WIFI热点的创建，除了从未知到入门这一大坎外，其它的路途还是很顺利的。上峰要求的WIFI是5GHz，但作为技术要求，我必须要考虑2.4GHz和5GHz。首先在一台Ubuntu14.04系统上测试5GHz频率热点，一切正常。但换到另一台裁剪过的Ubuntu14.04上就有问题(正常的ubuntu体积比较大，而这台裁剪过的系统只有500MB)。
问题是，使用iw list查看，所有的5GHz的信道都不能使用，信息如下：

从网上查到的信息，当信道后面有disabled或passive scanning字样时，这个信道是无法正常使用(于AP模式)的。从启动信息也可以看到有些信道是被禁止的，如下：

尝试解决
从网上找到一篇文章，问题和我遇到的很类似，难得的是，作者用的网卡驱动和我的一模一样。于是参考其中的做法，将linux驱动的regd.c文件源码进行修改。然而还是不成功。看到问题不是驱动方面。
接着check一下网卡驱动、固件这些文件是否OK。对应的驱动信息如下：
root@latelee:~# modinfo ath10k_pci
filename: /lib/modules/3.17.1+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/ath10k_pci.ko
firmware: ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/board.bin
firmware: ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware-2.bin
license: Dual BSD/GPL
description: Driver support for Atheros QCA988X PCIe devices
author: Qualcomm Atheros
depends: ath10k_core
intree: Y
vermagic: 3.17.1+ SMP mod_unload modversions 686
parm: target_ps:Enable ath10k Target (SoC) PS option (uint)
parm: irq_mode:0: auto, 1: legacy, 2: msi (default: 0) (uint)
parm: reset_mode:0: auto, 1: warm only (default: 0) (uint)
驱动找到了，固件也有了，都是已经具备并且都正常的。
解决
继续看linux无线wiki关于CRDA的资料，找到如下关键的段落：
We use userspace events (uevents) to let the kernel speak to userspace. Below is an example udev rule you can place into your distribution's udev rules directory (usually /etc/udev/rules.d/). Note that most distributions have udev configured with inotify on the udev rules directory, so there is no need to restart udev after adding the new rule.
# Example file, should be put in /etc/udev/rules.d/regulatory.rules
KERNEL=="regulatory*", ACTION=="change", SUBSYSTEM=="platform", RUN+="/sbin/crda"
其实我已经看过，之所以没有留意这个，是因为我看过/etc/udev/rules.d/这个目录是不存在的。但我却不知道，它已经变成/lib/udev/rules.d/目录了。于是在原装的Ubuntu系统中找到带“regulatory.rules”字样的文件，放到裁剪过的系统对应目录，问题终于解决了。
总结
为了使用WIFI的5GHz频率，有很多事是要注意的：
1、无线网卡是否支持5GHz。
2、需要CRDA可执行文件：/sbin/crda
3、需要CRDA目录：/lib/crda/
4、udev文件：/lib/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rules
最后再提一下，如果要自己移植，最好的方法是使用一台原装的系统进行测试，这样至于有一个正确的环境做对比，以减少弯路。
