Hi All,
I'm having issues with Wifi on a WCN3990 chip. It seems to work fine for people
in the US but here in Europe connecting to Wifi networks is hit-or-miss.
I am in Germany and can only connect to a few Wifi networks, with the others
failing with authentication issues.
We guessed this was because of the regulatory information not set and indeed
the driver always falls back to the default, which is the US.
[ 24.072334] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x0
[ 24.072346] ath: EEPROM indicates default country code should be used
But even after patching the default regdomain to be Germany and providing the
bdwlan files used by Android
(found here:
https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_google_sargo/tree/lineage-21/proprietary/vendor/firmware)
the connection issues remain. I am now at my wits end and so I am asking here
how to best debug this. This is a log excerpt from when the connection fails:
[ 1976.444722] wlan0: authenticate with 04:d9:f5:12:75:b4 (local
address=5e:00:a8:96:03:48)
[ 1976.444816] wlan0: send auth to 04:d9:f5:12:75:b4 (try 1/3)
[ 1976.451117] wlan0: authenticated
[ 1976.452960] wlan0: associate with 04:d9:f5:12:75:b4 (try 1/3)
[ 1976.455507] wlan0: RX AssocResp from 04:d9:f5:12:75:b4 (capab=0x511
status=18 aid=284)
[ 1976.455548] wlan0: 04:d9:f5:12:75:b4 denied association (code=18) Here is
the PostmarketOS issue for this problem. Maybe there's some useful information
there:

Please let me know on how to further debug this, your help will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance
