Title:
  2025.07.10 new upstream release

Status in wireless-regdb package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:

  [Impact]

  New upstream release. This is a database of wireless regulations, and
  should updated in all releases to ensure users have the most up-to-
  date regulatory information.

  [Test Case]

  Following reboot after installing the new database, it should be
  possible to query and change the regulatory domain using 'iw reg get'
  and 'iw reg set'.

  [Where problems could occur]

  If crda (<< k4.15) or the kernel is unable to use the new database,
  users may be stuck using the default "world" regulatory domain which
  is quite restrictive, therefore they may be unable to use wireless
  channels that they were able to use previously. Regulatory rules may
  have also changed for the user's region, which could also make some
  channels unusable, but this would not be a bug.

  Recently, there was also a bug where this deb package comes
  preinstalled installed on Ubuntu Desktop FDE images. This behavior was
  incorrect because wireless-regdb is included in the kernel snap, not
  the deb. Thus, future installs failed because it attempts to modify
  /lib/firmware which is RO on hybrid systems. The proper Conflicts have
  been declared in wireless-regdb, and boot-managed-by-snapd versions >=
  5 should not have this issue.
