I am the submitter of bug #331092, this definitely seems related. It works without manually specifying the regulatory domain with CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY=y (no CRDA), so even a GUI config tool or guessing based on timezone would be a regression as far as I'm concerned. My laptop is from the US, so it seems unlikely that the EU domain is set in the firmware. I believe that my AP does broadcast it, I have the option to specify the country in the AP administration interface.

A kernel config option for cfg80211 has changed in one of the recent Jaunty alpha kernel or module releases which disabled the legacy options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU method. Now that the CRDA method is in place there is no way of passing the region to the module without a git version of wpa_supplicant or a recent iw which is not yet packaged for debian/ubuntu (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321630) as far as I can tell.

As per the answer I was given on https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/62114 , the only way I currently know to re-enable the channels - on jaunty anyway - is to get this working was to compile iw from source and manually pass the country code. The only version of iw that i could see within the existing repositories (as part of aircrack-ng) is out of date, does not appear to report a version and silently ignores the same request to change regulatory domain. Shouldn't the appropriate location code be entered from the system country settings at install time (or whenever they are changed) and passed through to the driver? I'm not technical enough to understand how the new setup is meant to work, but the problem is that these are relatively new cards and this is only going to result in more support requests in the future as these Intel cards hit the mainstream and come into contact with lay users like myself - at least until NetworkManager catches up to having a country selector. The wpa_supplicant method of changing requires v 0.6.7 which is not yet available through Jaunty. If this should be raised as a separate bug/request - then I defer to your judgment. -- 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

Release notes text added:
== Only US wireless channels enabled by default on Intel 3945 ==
The iwl3945 wireless driver defaults to the US regulatory domain for
wireless, so wireless networks on channels forbidden by US regulations
but permitted by European or Japanese regulations will not work out of
the box. This affects IEEE 802.11b/g channels 12 (Europe and Japan), 13
(Europe and Japan), and 14 (Japan only), as well as all 802.11a
channels. (Some other wireless drivers may be affected; this is the only
one we are sure of so far.)
To work around this, add the following line to the `/etc/modprobe.d/options`
file if you use this driver and need to use European wireless channels: {{{
options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU
}}}
Alternatively, add the following line if you use this driver and need to use
Japanese wireless channels: {{{
options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=JP
}}}

[Bug 288401] Re: iwl3945 driver doesn't see !US wireless channels on UK laptop [intrepid regression]
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
[Bug 288401] Re: iwl3945 driver doesn't see !US wireless channels on UK laptop [intrepid regression]
** Description changed: The iwl3945 driver in Intrepid doesn't appear to see !US wireless channels, even on a UK laptop. My home network is on channel 13 and completely open, but Intrepid couldn't find it until I forced it back to channel 11. Hardy on the same hardware found and used the wireless on channel 13 just fine.

[Bug 288401] Re: iwl3945 driver doesn't see !US wireless channels on UK laptop [intrepid regression]
Sorry Linuxjedi - I set the importance on the original bug quite early on, without truly understanding the full impact. In hindsight, it was not the correct decision This is a regression because of the new regulatory infrastructure in the kernel. The regulatory domain should be automatically set, either based on information from your access point or your wireless cards EEPROM (or at least that is what I understand from reading http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA). In cases where this fails, it appears that the workaround documented in this bug report is needed. If this regression is affecting a lot of non-US users, it may warrant a release note entry. -- 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

Ah, thanks for this Chris, yes your interpretation of this document makes sense. The impact of this bug may be lower than I originally anticipated then. It may warrant some documentation somewhere (I would certainly appreciate it when helping fellow Ubuntu users). I would imagine people in Europe will try and take advantage of channel 13, and it appears to affect this particular model of wifi chip more than most. It will be tricky to estimate impact because it depends on several factors (chip firmware and local access points mainly).
