Intel Wireless Proset limited to 11 channels?

What country are you in? If the USA, what you're doing is strictly illegal. Channels 12 and 13 fall into the downlink band for one of the satellite telephone services. While intereference is improbable, it's still not a good thing to do.

I am in the UK, where it is legal, but somehow the card doesn't even look there...

It's difficult to guess your location with a gmail.com address.

Are you using the UK incantation of the Intel Proset utility? I'll guess(tm) that it's a 2200BG card.

General Info

1. Download the Intel ID tool to positively identify the card that Intel found itself too lazy to properly label.
2. Find the corresponding driver on the Intel web pile at the above URL's.
3. Remove the Asus Proset utility and drivers, and install the Intel version, which is probably a later version.

Try Asus.com or Intel.com for the European updates for Drivers, Firmware, and Utilities. The best choice ( I think ) is Intel as they made the wireless card that Asus is using.

(if you're going to use that broken google groups stuff, please try to keep some context in. There's a way, though I forget how)

Many manufacturers don't seem to ship drivers or kit that understands there are countries outside the US. As far as I can recall, not one of my wireless cards or routers has understood that channels 12 & 13 existed, despite buying them all in the UK.

For many drivers there is a setting in the Advanced sections of the wireless properties that sets the region. But some times it is well hidden.

Check on the properties (it frequently lurks on the advanced page) for a region or country setting. If the UK is not mentioned try ETSI which is the rules for most of Europe.
