Also how do you set the regdom? Do you use iw?
Adding the db is not enough. I don't know hos to set the regdom other
than with:
# iw reg set US
but I haven't built iw yet.
iw works. And wpa_supplicant will set the regdom matching the AP when
you connect to one. You can try to modify the regdom of your AP and then
reconnect to it (using wpa_supplicant directly, or via NetworkManager).
OK, I built iw and set the domain:
# iw reg get
global
country US: DFS-FCC
(2402 - 2472 @ 40), (N/A, 30), (N/A)
(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (N/A), AUTO-BW
(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW
(5490 - 5730 @ 160), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS
(5735 - 5835 @ 80), (N/A, 30), (N/A)
(57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)
But what I wan t to do is:
# iwlist wlan0 scanning
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
However when I reboot to my previous install using kernel 4.13.8,
scanning works fine. Still tring to figure this out.
Replying to myself a lot...
However iw dev wlan0 scan works. It also works without setting the
domain for some APs, but setting the domain lets it work for a lot more APs.
It looks like we need to add iw to the book.
Answering Alain: I haven't looked at iwd yet, but we may need that also.
Finally, we may need a new page: "About Wireless"
