Yes. I flagged out-of-date this package. Use community/hostapd. To force 40MHz channel only use noscan=1 and ht_capab=[HT40+] (or variations) in hostapd.conf. Be aware that it violates the standard and can reduce the speed, but in some cases (low frequency band utilization) it can significantly increase the speed.

good news! noscan.patch -- now in official package ( https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/hostapd )

Better to ask someone who knows Arch better. I think that is unlikely because generally Arch has "clean" packets without third party patches, but not sure.

sorry for spam, but... is zero chance, that this patch ("hostapd-2.2-noscan.patch") may be landed to official archlinux-package "hostapd" ?

Yes, you're right. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#provides says the same thing. I have added provides variable to the PKGBUILD.

Patch is really good (I took it from Fedora) but it violates the standard and may destabilize the wi-fi if frequency band is heavily loaded, otherwise everything is fine.

good day!

the file "PKGBUILD" has line:

conflicts=('hostapd')

but may be -- need next line:

provides=('hostapd=2.2')

??? (I am very new in Archlinux.. and it is only my supposition :))
