Bug#622842: brcm80211 not setting correct country code?



After
iw reg set EU
I do not get any answer in dmesg log.

and if I do (after)  : iw reg get , I get:

country 98:
	(2402 - 2472 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
	(5170 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 17)
	(5250 - 5330 @ 40), (N/A, 20), DFS
	(5490 - 5600 @ 40), (N/A, 20), DFS
	(5650 - 5710 @ 40), (N/A, 20), DFS

So, something is not working properly.

Thanks and best regards,

Wenceslao

I looked at the driver source code and there is certainly an attempt to
use a country code from NVRAM.  But maybe it hasn't actually been read
from NVRAM at the point this is done.  'US' seems to be the default if
the country code is blank.

Please refer to the information on wireless.kernel.org:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/brcm80211#Regulatory_Implementation

You could investigate whether the NVRAM/SROM country code is indeed blank or really configured with 'US'. For the driver itself channel 13 can be used as long as your access point is transmitting beacons, because it is regarded as a passive channel.

Reading the logs listed in bug #622842 I would suggest running the following command after loading the brcm80211 driver:
$ iw set reg EU

You should see following in the log:
Apr 30 10:05:22 myhost kernel: [ 3967.072332] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: EU
