Thank you both! I was not aware that this belonged in the firmware field and not the packages field. This has solved the error message during boot. Further, adding the kernel argument successfully sets my region as US on boot.
tags 49611 notabug close 49611 This is not part of the bug per-say, but a question around this space: despite all of this, I still cannot broadcast on US approved channels. I think this is because the EEPROM on the card is set as global. What am I missing? Do you know how Linux intend for people to notify the stack that this is an OK thing to do? I know projects like OpenWRT carry patches to the driver, but I keep thinking surely this is not the only way.
