Come on now - surely this is embarassing? The regdb on Ubuntu is now almost *2 years* out of date.
As of now, the latest stable version is 2014-10-07. For all those suffering from this (and VHT issues, etc.), I've found the Debian testing package to apply cleanly and enable VHT successfully - https://packages.debian.org/jessie/wireless-regdb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to wireless-regdb in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284093 Title: Please update regulations to support VHT Status in wireless-regdb package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Only very recent versions of wireless-regdb have support for VHT (80mhz channels); in addition, all current kernels have a bug that will cause your card to fail to associate with a VHT ap when your local regdb didn't allow VHT: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70881 I have updated the existing Debian bug requesting this too: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729089 Well, more precisely I have emailed the update but it hasn't gone through yet. :) I would recommend updating to 2013.11.27 (current upstream) as it includes other regulatory fixes. I would also recommend applying this to at least Precise and Trusty, possibly Saucy since it is still supported. Here is the update that should post to the Debian bug soon: "I would much appreciate this, especially you make the jump to 2013.11.27. The new regdb will also solve issues with 802.11ac; the referenced version appears to be the first with support for 80mhz channels. Without the new regdb (or a patch the kernel that masks the symptoms, below), when you connect to an AP that supports 80mhz channels, you are disconnected with a nearly useless error. Link to the ticket, with details and the symptom-masking patch that will be in future kernels: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70881 It would be great if we could get the new regdb upstream into Debian asap; in the meantime I will try to get an updated version into a ppa for Ubuntu users at least. ;)" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireless-regdb/+bug/1284093/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
