This problem was highly likely introduced by: commit 22c19fd7f0c32fc1ece047d0d36a4212c64a1ae4 Author: Tim Gardner <[email protected]> Date: Thu Feb 12 09:08:29 2009 -0700 UBUNTU: Set CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY=n, added wireless-crda When the old regulatory infrastructure is disabled, then there is a new install dependency on wireless-crda. Signed-off-by: Tim Gardner <[email protected]> It seems like 'cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU' should still work or at least should not render WLAN broken, even though it is described that current method is to actually set the regdomain runtime from userspace, instead of giving it as parameter to module. However, I can not get 'iw' to work, while dmesg does print '[ 79.208070] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: EU', it nevertheless does not active channels 12, 13 as verified by 'iw', 'iwlist' and inability to connect to channel 12, 13 networks. -- ++ytti -- WLAN does not work in 2.6.28-8-generic kernel (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan]) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335774 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
