Message-ID: <56451085.2070301@lwfinger.net> (raw)
I'm trying to understand a problem that some users are having with the 5G band
when using rtl8821ae. One of them sees the following output from cfg80211:
cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated:

The change from the "world regulatory domain" to CA should not cause any
problems. I do not understand why it switches to CA a second time, but I'm
confused as to why the "DFS Master Region" for CA is "FCC". On my system, when I
load cfg80211 using the option to set the regulatory domain to CA, my master
region is still unset.
Is this the source of the problem? On the above system, all 5G channels are
disabled. On my system, I get the expected passive scanning on channels 52-140,
but all 5G channels are enabled.
One other possible difference. My openSUSE system uses CRDA 1.1.3. The other box
runs Fedora 23 with an unknown version of CRDA.
Thanks,
Larry
