then its time to check your system settings and to fix your os specific quirks
you may have like bios/uefi specific country settings. so whatever your
problem is, it seems to be OS/System specific.
ath10k does handle bios specific country settings. see function
"ath10k_mac_get_wrdd_regulatory / ath10k_mac_init_rd" in mac.c
simply override this function to ignore the acpi table country settings

your documentation is very unspecific. its unclear if you even tried to change the
country code using "iw reg set"
like ony any other qca/atheros card you can simply change the country code
using iw reg set

Hi,
I posted this to the linux-wireless mailing-list 4 days ago and did not receive
an answer.
The ath10k module sets the country code to "US" at initialization. After that the country
code can't be changed anymore (e.g. to "DE").
Compex support suggests setting "reg->country_code = CTRY_UNITED_STATES;" in
"/drivers/net/wireless/ath/regd.c" to the local country.
Patching and re-compiling every kernel-update isn't an option on an UEFI-only
production system.
Kernel version: 4.19.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.28-2 (2019-03-15) x86_64
GNU/Linux on Debian 10 Buster
The WLE900VX is based on the QCA XB140 reference design.
Until Thursday we have the option to return the cards to the dealer.
Thanx for any hint,
Renne
