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. ;)"
