you posted some screenshots of the original tplink-firmware for
Israel: they made nearly everything wrong for the user.
I'm afraid you've confused me with someone else. I posted no such
thing. Also I looked at the forum

This won't work during firstboot, because /etc/config/wireless will be created
by 'wifi detect' only after tplink_board_detect already run.
but if wifi-detect runs, the wifi is off anyway so
the setting is not needed: only during first

Also, of note is that there are efforts underway to change the way
regulatory compliance is met, so that the law is satisfied (and
e.g atheros' need to comply) while addressing international concerns,
