VM, we need this fixed a sight faster than you took over the last fix or cabled areas will be full of black eyes.

No, the 2.4Ghz band needs more attention, defaulting to 40Mhz mode in 2.4 is far worse than having low access to 5. For one, it affects far more people. 5Ghz is a niche product - face it, who (in terms of average consumers) will have all 5Ghz devices and the brains to set it all up and work it correctly and has the balls to put up with the halved range? Hell even the latest and greatest smartphones (e.g. HTC Sensation) can't do 5Ghz. Possibly the only thing worse than what the SH already does is turning off CSMA/CA or transmitting white noise at full power.
