Hi all,
My laptop is equipped with an internal wifi card "WLAN2" (Intel 5100agn) and
an external express card Atheros SR71x "WLAN4" (chipset AR9280). I would
like to set up the regulatory domian using the 'iw reg set' commnad but It
does not react to my request.
When the intel (wlan2) card is ready, you can see below the messages shown:
As you can show at the end -- > Current regulatory domain intersected.
What it is also strange is the fact that when my regulatory domain is set to
US, or GB, the iw command doesn't let me configure the transmission power
above 19dBm.
Frequencies:
* 2412 MHz [1] (19.0 dBm)
* 2417 MHz [2] (19.0 dBm)
* 2422 MHz [3] (19.0 dBm)
* 2427 MHz [4] (19.0 dBm)
* 2432 MHz [5] (19.0 dBm)
* 2437 MHz [6] (19.0 dBm)
* 2442 MHz [7] (19.0 dBm)
* 2447 MHz [8] (19.0 dBm)
* 2452 MHz [9] (19.0 dBm)
Is there a way of overriding regulatory domain and being able to configure
any channel in IBSS mode with no restriciton in the transmission power (in
other words not to be obliged to respect the limitations of the regulatory
down and what the own wireless card limit the transmission power)?

The only option would be to reprogram the reg domain on the card to
something less restricted. So far there is no utility available for
this.
Anything "after" the reg domain stored on card will only limit use of
the card. Broken? Blame the regulatory bodies, maybe specifically the
FCC. Doubly broken that FCC mandate non-US citizens? Yeah, it's a
joke.
Need to make that utility.

Blindly overwriting EEPROMs is a bad idea, as I have explained before.
You have the freedom to do what you please but essentially you loose
my support completley for anything you ever report :)

Such a utility must do the right thing of course! :) Only change the
right bits, in the right way. I haven't looked yet but I expect the
driver will show which bits matter, and how.

Ah but I will not lose very much then! ;) SCNR, hehe.
I of course get your point that the EEPROM drives other things in
the driver and firmware than just reg domain, and that it's important
to be careful about which bits are touched.
This is another case where it would be cool if Atheros was open about
technical details, because instead of someone reverse engineering the
EEPROM contents there could be a known-reliable utility (a la ART)
which had expert knowledge about all the little corner cases. I guess
it's simply impossible to talk radio tech without rubbing FCC the
wrong way. So broken.. :\

Apart from actually implementing it in a way that will work reliably
and not breaking anything such a utility should not let you override
EEPROM contents if the regulatory domain is for the US or Japan.

That's an obvious concern but the more important concern is simply
ensuring that EEPROMs with a value programmed to operate in a country
that explicitly disallows to change the regulatory domain blindly
cannot be done. That is, only enable this for EEPROMs who are not US
or JP. The problem statement you make of buying a card with a
regulatory domain different from your own or an AP configured a bogus
EEPROM regulatory domain certainly is an issue but not the type of
issue considered by regulatory agencies today. We can help regulatory
agencies though by helping users restrict the regulatory domain
further if so desired, and that is how cfg80211's regulatory code
works today for Atheros cards. The "enabling more" aspect is however a
bit more difficult and simply not explicitly allowed by regulatory
agencies around the world but since the US and JP explicitly prohibit
this I highly recommend to ensure you do not enable this for these
EEPROMs.

Users should not have to use ART, simply as that, I do however agree
we should help users be more compliant and we do, but enabling
channels further requires more consideration and as I've noted please
consider not enabling overriding regulatory domains for the US and JP,
and if you do use such a utility you stand the chance to loose
support.
Just my own US $0.02

Luis, Peter,
I don't want to break any rule. I'm only interested in working on the
5735000 KHz - 5835000 band (with its restrictions), but It seems that my
wireless card doesn't follow the regulatory domain.
Based on the dmesg [1] in this band i should be allowed to transmit 3000mBm,
but the wireless card shows this limitations. If I change the reg domain,
the available frequency bands change accordly, but no changes are shown in
the tx power restrictions.
Do you know what the reason is?

Of course. Neither do I nor any other regular users.
The problem Luis points to is that US and Japanese regulators do not
allow altering regulatory domain to a more permissive one.
That only makes sense assuming that the EEPROM contents is accurate
to begin with (US for cards in US, JP for cards in JP) - which of
course it isn't, which is the reason for a utility in the first
place. :)
Ie. they make it illegal in some cases to change the EEPROM contents
so that it has the correct regulatory domain. Humor! :)

With Atheros cards a user can update the central regulatory domain of cfg80211
to help compliance, but never to do something more. So for example if your card
was programmed for US, even if you insist you are in JP you won't start using
channel 13, if however your card is from JP and you insist you are in the US
channel 13 can be disabled.
So ultimately with Atheros cards you should not have to muck with anything,
as the regulatory parameters from the card are already processed and user
input is only going to limit your card further. If your card does not allow
you to use a channel then you can't use it due to the restrictions of the
regulatory domain the card was sold for.

Except fixing invalid information on cards. But this of course goes
exactly the same for all cards! Nothing special with Atheros. (Except
that maybe noone else than Atheros is using the kernel regdomain
infrastructure? I haven't looked.)

The utility I have in mind would help fix the disconnect when a card
is being used more or less permanently in a reg domain other than the
one it was sold for, which seems to be fairly common.

As I noted, regulatory agencies have never address this, or simply
assume this never happens. To be able to make this permissible
regulatory agencies need to make this explicitly allow for this, today
they only explicitly deny this and they make a point to clarify it is
indeed disallowed, at least in the FCC.

Every cfg80211 and mac80211 802.11 Linux driver (therefore any new
driver) uses the regulatory framework of the Linux kernel. It was the
point in putting so much effort into the framework. Its also why we
have a public database for it, to let others contribute. I also
encourage the code for regulatory on Linux to be even considered /
used on other OSes, even proprietary OSes. Its permissive licensed
exactly for this purpose.

But it would then break regulatory if the card changes the CTL index
it needs to use and the card was no calibrated / tested for the new
CTL index for the card. So good luck with that.

Hi,
is it normal that cfg80211 and ath9k are loaded with
cfg80211: Regulatory domain: US
ath9k: Country alpha2 being used: AM
even if I'm in Italy/Europe?
should I have to change module option?

That is most likely due to the fact that OLD_REG is enabled in
your kernel's config which essentially defaults to use the static
US regulatory domain built in to the kernel.

That is due to the EEPROM read of the device and a query for that regulatory domain.

Yes.

You can install wireless-regdb, crda, and iw and manually set
the regulatory domain. Additionally the cfg80211 module has an
ieee80211_regdom module parameter which you can use to default to
your specific country.
Keep in mind that since ath9k has "AM" in its EEPROM that regulatory
domain will be used on ath9k even if you first requestd Italy's regulatory
domain. If you later select Itlay using iw though you would be further
enhancing your regulatory settings by only allowing on your card what
is allowed in your country (in case the "AM" regulatory domain allows
more).
