Australian regulations differ from most of Europe, the USA and even New Zealand (which shares AS/NZS 4268) in that any unlicensed operation between 5600-5650MHz is prohibited outright, rather than being allowed after an extended DFS channel availability check. The situation appears to be similar in Canada, the regdb has previously been amended to reflect this. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/sforshee/wireless-regdb.git/co= mmit/db.txt?id=3Dce7697d3def48f87427b3a3c285b46241af3b79d On 19 February 2017 at 22:46, Sebastian Gottschall [off-list ref] wrote:

Hi Sebastian, There is no explicit channel width restriction in the document, however the only band in which the current regdb rules permit 160MHz operation (5490-5710MHz) would result in an overlap with the restricted weather radar band 5600-5650MHz.thats the case for all countries, so this couldnt be a argument. dfs shou=

While remaining in compliance with both 802.11 and Australian law, contiguous 160MHz operation in 5GHz is only permitted between 5170-5330MHz which spans two bands with slightly different requirements, hence AUTO-BW.

maybe i'm blind. but you reduced the channel width from 160 to 80 mhz. but i can't find any restriction in the document in a quick review Sebastian Am 18.02.2017 um 07:35 schrieb Ryan Mounce:quoted
Sourced from the latest legislation at https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2016C0043 The current rules exceed legal limits between 5250-5330MHz, and permit illegal operation in 5600-5650MHz (reserved for weather radar).
