Re: how to find out regdomain/country of wifi network

Wrong.

cigaes@ssecem ~ $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 list countries
wlan0 list co: error fetching interface information: Device not found

cigaes@ssecem ~ $ /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 list countries
wlan0 list co: error fetching interface information: Device not found

I so wish people would be careful in making the difference between a
problem of path and a problem of permissions.

Also, ifconfig has nothing to do with wireless, so it was a red herring
from the start.
