I discovered this exchange while observing 'on the wire' with wireshark. > Am I looking in the wrong place for REGDOM events? Is there another wpa_supplicant instance that's setting things correctly? It's the right place but wpa_supplicant has to interact with a variety wifi chipsets with varying firmware/drivers in play, would not surprise me if things are not consistent across the board. There also the difference between NetworkManger 'user connections'/'system connections' but that should not matter as NM passes the wifi info to wpa_supplicant directly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1951586 Title: Need option to specify wifi regulatory domain Status in cloud-init: Invalid Status in netplan: New Status in netplan.io package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Status in netplan.io source package in Jammy: Triaged Status in network-manager source package in Jammy: New Status in netplan.io source package in Kinetic: Triaged Status in network-manager source package in Kinetic: New Bug description: It would be nice if netplan offered an option to specify the wifi regulatory domain (country code).
