Hi Folks,
I'm running 2.6.8-486-voyage on Wrap2.C with Wistron CM9 Atheros
802.11a/b/g miniPCI wireless card.
This is supposed to be a tri-band card (http://www.pcengines.ch/cm9.htm)
but mine seems to be stuck in 802.11a mode (5.2Ghz). How do I reset this
for 802.11b (2.4Ghz)?

I've read the man pages for iwconfig and iwpriv and tried -

Nothing seems to work. Can anyone help?
Thanks
