Bug Description

linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04

hello,

since the update to Ubuntu 20.04.1 I can no longer change the regulatory domain of my QCA9984 cards.

This works fine with Ubuntu 16.04.7 / DD-WRT / OpenWrt.

Or if I build the kernel modules myself .. ("Atheros dynamic user regulatory testing")

The card has "World" in the EEPROM and is sold worldwide.

This means that the card works on various channels with a transmission power that is far too high

country US: DFS-FCC
(5735 - 5835 @ 80), (N/A, 30), (N/A)

30dB = 1W

while in Germany only 25mW are allowed

DE: DFS-ETSI
(5725 - 5875 @ 80), (N/A, 13), (N/A)

So please patch out this eeprom nonsense or activate "Atheros dynamic user regulatory testing"
- it is also questionable whether the users need individual regdb settings for each NIC

So that we ubuntu users can operate our Qualcomm WLAN cards with the correct regdb settings!

as a short feedback i have solved the problem for me as follows

i have patched the ath driver and set the eeprom to germany and additionally i have applied an openwrt patch

then I have rebuild the module with the option "Do not enforce EEPROM regulatory restrictions"

link to the patch (must be adjusted depending on kernel version)

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath/402-ath_regd_optional.patch

now all channels are there with the right transmitting power and as a small bonus the card is now region free

Please add: CONFIG_ATH_REG_DYNAMIC_USER_CERT_TESTING, CONFIG_ATH_REG_DYNAMIC_USER_REG_HINTS and CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
to .config to next build "https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.10.1/".
if i add those in my own build, it works, but will be glad if i do not need to rebuild every kernel for my self!

This patch has been reverted.

there are other ways

- reg->current_rd = 0x64;
+ reg->current_rd = 0x6c;

0x64 is the most restrictive domain and there the complete midband is missing
0x6c means world wide regdomain

and if you really want to use the cards without any restrictions then the openwrt patch

they only take upstream patches and leave the users in the rain

ok, but then then can add CONFIG_ATH_REG_DYNAMIC_USER_CERT_TESTING, CONFIG_ATH_REG_DYNAMIC_USER_REG_HINTS and CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
to .config for every build! Why they do not do that?

so we have something to do and have to rebuild our kernel all the time :-)

only a small joke, I wish of course also that it is somehow fixed for all

I have already tested, I prefer to stay with the QCA firmware and drivers that run for me stable and have for me fewer bugs

have 1Gbit throughput in both directions (stable)

I came across this bug when looking through open linux-firmware bugs. Sorry that it didn't attract any attention before.

If this is still a problem, I think the right solution is to pursue a solution upstream. Once one is found we can accept these fixes into Ubuntu. Unfortunately, changing our configs as requested in comment #21 could result in many more users falling out of regulatory compliance, so that is not a viable option.

I don't see any suggestion of plans to fix this issue in the upstream ath10k firmware, so I'm changing the status for the linux-firmware package to invalid. If this is a mistake, please change the status back to confirmed and let me know what I've missed.

Changed in linux-firmware (Ubuntu):
status:	Confirmed → Invalid
