Bug#970679: wireless-regdb: updating wireless-regdb to 2020.04.29-2~bpo10+1 makes AP mode impossible on ath10k wifi card
Package: wireless-regdb
Version: 2016.06.10-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I have an ath10k wireless card, using QCA988X driver in firmware-atheros, which
worked with wireless-regdb 2016.06.10-1. I tried to update linux-image-amd64
from 4.19+105+deb10u5 to 5.7.10-1~bpo10+1, which resulted in an updated
wireless-regdb (2020.04.29-2~bpo10+1). From then, The wifi card got impossible
to use in 5Ghz AP mode (no frequency available). I tried to boot with
4.19.0-10-amd64, and the same symptoms remained. Finally, downgrading
wireless-regdb to 2016.06.10-1 made the wifi functionnal again.
Using firmware-atheros from buster-backports or not made no difference.
Regards,
