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 The only version of iw that i could see within the existing repositories (as part of aircrack-ng) is out of date, does not appear to report a version and silently ignores the same request to change regulatory domain.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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
