I'm also able to get 40MHz operation ch 44.

Putting the radio onto channel 40, however, disabled it:

which led to this when trying to switch to channel 48 from the broken 44
config (via luci)

Remembering that HT40+ and ch 48 weren't allowed, I tried to switch to
HT40-.  And...  now it's really borked up.  The luci ui won't give me any
options other than client mode on 48 or auto.  I'm going to attempt to fix
this up by hand.

btw, this is on 3.10.24-8.  Are the -28 builds ok for non-Comcast use?
