[17:06] <sem2peie> a question to the ubuntu kernel team regarding the ATH driver
[17:06] <sem2peie> are there arguments against mapping the cards to 0x6c instead of 0x64?
[17:06] <sem2peie> https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/focal/commit/?h=hwe-5.8&id=2dc016599cfa9672a147528ca26d70c3654a5423
[17:07] <sem2peie> 0x64 is the most restrictive world domain and the complete midband is missing
[17:07] <sem2peie> 0x6c in principle means world wide roaming and should be the most compatible domain
[17:08] <sem2peie> in addition, the card pulls the regdomain anyway when connected to an AP (association hints) and then adjusts the transmission power 
[17:08] <sem2peie> but there are still some restrictions and not all channels can be used 
[17:13] <sforshee> sem2peie: you'd have better luck asking the developers of that driver, maybe try in #linux-wireless
[17:15] <sem2peie> i have already asked the ath devs, but have not yet received an answer
[17:33] <sem2peie> sforshee but since you are here, the regdb in focal might not be up to date, there are some things missing (I think I saw your key in the CRDA)
[17:34] <sem2peie> for example there are some frequencies missing in Panama

[18:09] <sem2peie> :-)
[18:12] <sforshee> sem2peie: yeah it is out of date, we haven't often updated the regdb in stable releases
[18:13] <sforshee> if you file a bug though we can look at updating at least for those rules
[18:19] <sem2peie> this makes me a bit surprised, i mean your regdb is used by big projects like openwrt or dd-wrt and is always up-to-date
[18:19] <sem2peie> the regdb in focal is 2 years old and there is a lot missing
[18:19] <sem2peie> also a stable release wants to have a current regdb
