This is an upstream issue as clearly stated in the kernel wiki. “Using Network Manager to change regulatory domains
This needs to be implemented, but since Network Manager uses wpa_supplicant it should just be a matter of adding a user interface option to let a user select an alpha2 and then adding the country entry into the wpa_supplicant configuration entered.” https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/regulatory/crda#using_network_manager_to_change_regulatory_domains ** Tags added: trusty xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365049 Title: NM applet should allow to set the CRDA domain Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: With recent Ubuntu kernels switching to userland CRDA it is no longer possible to set the correct CRDA domain for wireless cards. It can not be expected from casual users to install the optional "iw" package and write a init script to set the correct regulatory domain. Therefore the NetworkManger should take care of this and the NetworkManager applet should offer the configuration option for each configured WIFI connection. The initial configuration should set the default based on the entered location (timezone). Since violating the regulatory domain can cause legal problems for Ubuntu users, this is a major concern.
