as a short feedback i have solved the problem for me as follows i have patched the ath driver and set the eeprom to germany and additionally i have applied an openwrt patch
then I have rebuild the module with the option "Do not enforce EEPROM regulatory restrictions" link to the patch (must be adjusted depending on kernel version) https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath/402-ath_regd_optional.patch Result [ 2.717027] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: pci irq msi oper_irq_mode 2 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0 [ 2.775040] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: pci irq msi oper_irq_mode 2 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0 [ 2.831174] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: qca9984/qca9994 hw1.0 target 0x01000000 chip_id 0x00000000 sub 168c:cafe [ 2.831175] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: kconfig debug 0 debugfs 0 tracing 0 dfs 0 testmode 0 [ 2.831504] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: firmware ver 10.4-3.9.0.2-00130 api 5 features no-p2p,mfp,peer-flow-ctrl,btcoex-param,allows-mesh-bcast,no-ps,peer-fixed-rate crc32 123ff35a [ 2.889062] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qca9984/qca9994 hw1.0 target 0x01000000 chip_id 0x00000000 sub 168c:cafe [ 2.889063] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: kconfig debug 0 debugfs 0 tracing 0 dfs 0 testmode 0 [ 2.889410] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: firmware ver 10.4-3.9.0.2-00130 api 5 features no-p2p,mfp,peer-flow-ctrl,btcoex-param,allows-mesh-bcast,no-ps,peer-fixed-rate crc32 123ff35a [ 4.064069] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: board_file api 2 bmi_id 0:1 crc32 85498734 [ 4.120218] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: board_file api 2 bmi_id 0:2 crc32 85498734 [ 6.732655] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: htt-ver 2.2 wmi-op 6 htt-op 4 cal otp max-sta 512 raw 0 hwcrypto 1 [ 6.796992] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: htt-ver 2.2 wmi-op 6 htt-op 4 cal otp max-sta 512 raw 0 hwcrypto 1 [ 6.805002] ath: EEPROM regdomain sanitized [ 6.805004] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x8114 [ 6.805004] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a country code [ 6.805004] ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search [ 6.805005] ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x37 [ 6.805005] ath: Country alpha2 being used: DE [ 6.805005] ath: Regpair used: 0x37 [ 6.805096] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x8114 [ 6.805096] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a country code [ 6.805096] ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search [ 6.805097] ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x37 [ 6.805097] ath: Country alpha2 being used: DE [ 6.805097] ath: Regpair used: 0x37 [ 6.805098] ath: regdomain 0x8114 dynamically updated by user [ 6.807137] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0 wlp3s0: renamed from wlan0 [ 6.869077] ath: EEPROM regdomain sanitized [ 6.869079] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x8114 [ 6.869079] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a country code [ 6.869080] ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search [ 6.869080] ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x37 [ 6.869080] ath: Country alpha2 being used: DE [ 6.869081] ath: Regpair used: 0x37 [ 9.640029] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: Unknown eventid: 36933 [ 9.644566] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0 wlp4s0: renamed from wlan0 phy#1 country DE: DFS-ETSI (2400 -
