The only proper fix I can see for this is to have some kind of preference in something like Network Manager. It would have to be a user configurable setting because many people take their laptops to other countries which have different channel options. I guess it could also be possible to link it to the Locations for the clock. Or even a separate mini-system configuration GUI util.
I am disappointed that this was set to low importance in Bug #272407. It is a serious regression for European laptop users, I would have thought this group of users to be of a least a little importance. The very least that could be done is to document the temporary fix in Bug #272407 so that when it hits mainstream users they will know how to fix it. -- iwl3945 driver doesn't see !US wireless channels on UK laptop [intrepid regression] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288401 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
