OK, since i've got no feedback I will ask a volunteer to check if airbase-ng supports 5Ghz channels. So, it looks like airbase-ng doesn't care about the channels that are supported by the wireless NIC. It accepts any channels from 1 to 255.
Code:
airbase-ng -c 1000 -e any mon0
Invalid channel value <1000>. It must be between 1 and 255.
and if i set channel 36 (my wireless NIC doesn't support 802.11a channels)
Code:
airbase-ng -c 36 -e teddy mon0
22:21:28 Created tap interface at0
22:21:28 Trying to set MTU on at0 to 1500
22:21:28 Access Point with BSSID xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx started.
So, if your card supports 5Ghz channels please run:
Code:
# Assuming that you wireless interface name is wlan0 and you got NO other running monitor mode interfaces (monX)
service network-manager stop
airmon-ng start wlan0
# 5Ghz channels are 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 (for broadcasting) Please try some of them.
airbase-ng -c 36 -e teddy mon0
If you got enough patience please try also channels : 100 104 108 112 116 120 124 128 132 136 140 149 153 157 161 165
and check if the SoftAP that we have created with airbase-ng is viewable by another 5Ghz capable PC.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
