Package: wireless-regdb
Version: 2016.06.10-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Please consider upgrading this package to an up-to-date version. It is
more than 3 years old and significant changes have occurred since then
worldwide, especially on the 5 GHz band.
For example, using wireless-regdb version 2016.06.10-1, the one
currently used in all active Debian versions, my regulatory domain is:
~# iw reg get
global
country ES: DFS-ETSI
(2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)
(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW
(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS, AUTO-BW
(5470 - 5725 @ 160), (N/A, 26), (0 ms), DFS
(57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)
If I update manually /lib/crda/regulatory.bin with the latest one at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sforshee/wireless-regdb.git,
my regulatory domain changes to this:
~# iw reg get
global
country ES: DFS-ETSI
(2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)
(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW
(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS, AUTO-BW
(5470 - 5725 @ 160), (N/A, 26), (0 ms), DFS
(5725 - 5875 @ 80), (N/A, 13), (N/A)
(57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)
In my case the updated database enables the scanning and use of APs
running in the 5725 - 5875 MHz band and probably prevents WiFi
dropouts when the AP, because of DFS, moves to a channel on that
range.
Thanks in advance.
