I haven't quite understood how, and in which order, you're calling
(explicitly or implicity be system events) crda, could you please
clarify that a bit?
What you'd usually do, is configuring CRDA:
/etc/default/crda:
REGDOMAIN=NO
In addition you'd configure hostapd:
$DEAMON_CONF (hostapd.conf):
country_code=NO
Keep in mind that your kernel also receives external hints to update
and intersect the active regulatory domain, be it by your device's
EEPROM/ OTP (this is particularly valid for Atheros devices[1]) or that
is might even receive country IEs (IEEE 802.11d) from access points
nearby. So it is a bit hard to guess what goes wrong on your system,
without further information. Fortunately dmesg usually tells a pretty
good story about all regulatory hints received and how they arrived.
Useful information to debug this:
- full dmesg output since the system booted
- /sbin/iw reg get
- /sbin/iw list
