Hi,
is it possible to change the WLAN channel to a different region?
I’m able to set the region to i.e. US using ‘iw reg set US’ and get the following output:
[12358.193242] cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: US
[12358.199172] cfg80211: DFS Master region: FCC
[12358.203384] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp), (dfs_cac_time)
[12358.213285] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 3000 mBm), (N/A)
[12358.221343] cfg80211: (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 80000 KHz, 160000 KHz AUTO), (N/A, 1700 mBm), (N/A)
[12358.230870] cfg80211: (5250000 KHz - 5330000 KHz @ 80000 KHz, 160000 KHz AUTO), (N/A, 2300 mBm), (0 s)
[12358.240403] cfg80211: (5490000 KHz - 5730000 KHz @ 160000 KHz), (N/A, 2300 mBm), (0 s)
[12358.248524] cfg80211: (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 80000 KHz), (N/A, 3000 mBm), (N/A)
[12358.256552] cfg80211: (57240000 KHz - 63720000 KHz @ 2160000 KHz), (N/A, 4000 mBm), (N/A)
But when I try to setup an AP using a channel within this region it doesn’t work. Calling ‘iw list’ also returns the channels within my region:
* 5180 MHz [36] (20.0 dBm)
* 5200 MHz [40] (20.0 dBm)
* 5220 MHz [44] (20.0 dBm)
* 5240 MHz [48] (20.0 dBm)
* 5260 MHz [52] (20.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection)
DFS state: usable (for 56 sec)
DFS CAC time: 60000 ms
* 5280 MHz [56] (20.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection)
DFS state: usable (for 56 sec)
DFS CAC time: 60000 ms
* 5300 MHz [60] (20.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection)
DFS state: usable (for 56 sec)
DFS CAC time: 60000 ms
* 5320 MHz [64] (20.0 dBm) (no IR, radar detection)
DFS state: usable (for 56 sec)
DFS CAC time: 60000 ms
Thank you,
Thorben
