Bug#1104022: wireless-regdb: Consider importing setregdomain and udev rule from Fedora
Package: wireless-regdb
Version: 2025.02.20-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian@voltagex.org
Dear Maintainer,
Fedora (and others?) have an additional script and udev rule as part of the wireless-regdb package
which attempts to set the wireless country code automatically.
See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/wireless-regdb/tree/rawhide
* What led up to the situation?
$ sudo iw reg get
global
country US: DFS-FCC
(902 - 904 @ 2), (N/A, 30), (N/A)
(904 - 920 @ 16), (N/A, 30), (N/A)
(920 - 928 @ 8), (N/A, 30), (N/A)
(2400 - 2472 @ 40), (N/A, 30), (N/A)
(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (N/A), AUTO-BW
(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 24), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW
(5470 - 5730 @ 160), (N/A, 24), (0 ms), DFS
(5730 - 5850 @ 80), (N/A, 30), (N/A), AUTO-BW
(5850 - 5895 @ 40), (N/A, 27), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW, PASSIVE-SCAN
(5925 - 7125 @ 320), (N/A, 12), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, PASSIVE-SCAN
(57240 - 71000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)
I am not in the US and I belive this is contributing to some of my issues with wifi.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
"options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=AU" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/mt7921.conf
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Wireless regulatory domain / country code to be set automatically
Regards,
Adam
