Hmm. I searched that page and could only find two mentions of
rebooting. The first says:
"You will need to restart NetworkManager.service or reboot for this
to start working"
so that doesn't count. The second says:
"1. Install wireless-regdb.
2. Uncomment the correct country code in /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom.
3. Reboot the system, because the setting is only read on boot."
AFAICT from
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless#Respecting_the_regulatory_domain
the reason that a reboot is advised after changing your regulatory
domain is to reload kernel modules cfg80211 and dependencies.
I don't understand why that should be laid at the feet of NM;
I use iwd, and would expect the same to apply.
I suppose it might be possible with care to reload the kernel modules
without rebooting anyway, though I'm not sure whether I have the means
to test for success using this method. In any case, as an expat,
I don't care to test the authorities' reaction to running equipment in
the wrong domain.
Cheers,
David.
