Hey People,
i have been trying to get a "Building Environment" working in order to recompile / reconfigure the Firmware for my "WD MYPASSPORT WIRELESS PRO HDD".
I finally did manage to recompile the complete Buildroot Package and make my changes such as: have the root fs on an SD-Card instead of the HDD, overclock the CPU and so on.
Unfortunately i am still unable to use the higher Channels (DFS) of the 5 Ghz WiFi Interface to connect to my Router. Right now the Device has: 2 (1x 2,4 Ghz and 1x 5Ghz AP) and 2 (again 1x 2,4Ghz and 1x 5Ghz) WiFi Interfaces. My Guess is that WD (or Realtek) somehow tinkered with the Driver in order to get this to work.
Now i do have the Sourcefiles for both the Drivers but i have no Idea how to make the Changes that i want. I would not mind if the, now 4 Interfaces would be reduced to 2 for a higher Bandwith (or Channel Width) and in order to use the higher Channels (like Channel 100) on the 5 Ghz Interface.
Would Someone, Anyone be interested in taking a look at the Souce Files for some Clues on how to achieve my Goal? Or help me with this?
Any help or directions would be greatly appreciated...

P.S. I am planning on uploading the complete FW onto a Repository like Github, but my knwoledge is pretty limited.. Its mostly just trial & error.. However i did solder a UART Connection onto the PCB because some of my changes did end up braking the WiFi. I was able to revive the Device via the Console but some help would truly be great.
