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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895333 Title: cannot change the regulatory domain ath10k, QCA9984 (QNAP QWA-AC2600) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Confirmed 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 ..
