[Q] No 5GHz wifi with Albinoman887's 4.2.2 or 4.3?

[TnIan]

I tried out both ROMs today (cm-10.1-20130714-Albinoman887-glacier and cm-10.2-20130824-Albinoman887-glacier). They look awesome, but my MyTouch 4G could no longer see 5GHz wifi APs afterwards. I reverted back to Gingerbread, and I could see 5GHz APs again.

Can anyone else corroborate this? If it's not just my phone, I'll patiently wait & see if that gets picked up in a future update.

Big thanks to Albinoman887 and everyone else for working on this in the first place.

are you changing the Advanced wireless settings under wifi to auto, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz and seeing if that makes a difference?

Hm... it won't accept a 5GHz setting. If I set it to 5Ghz, hit "back," and then return to Advanced settings, it reverts to whatever it was previously set to (auto or 2.4GHz). Auto and 2.4GHz 'stick' just fine.

I think its a problem in 4.3 they are complaining of similar issues in n4 forum but some have it some don't

But since u say in both I don't know

Gotcha, thanks for the info. I'll poke around in that forum.

it looks like the Albinoman887 roms are missing the fw_bcm4329_5GHz.bin in the /system/vendor/firmware/ directory.
its got fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin
fw_bcmdhd.bin
and bcm4329.hcd (which should go in /system/etc/firmware/)

I think that might have changed in 4.3, since the guy also said he couldn`t see it in his 4.2.2 rom either. Maybe that file is in the system/vendor/ section now?

I can confirm the same behavior on my MT4G. I'm using 4.3, the August 23rd build.
