[Bug 54600] NEW: Wifi defaults to regulatory domain US, even when all installation options are for UK

https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=54600


           Summary: Wifi defaults to regulatory domain US, even when all
                    installation options are for UK
    Classification: Mandriva Linux
           Product: Mandriva Linux
           Version: Cooker
          Platform: i586
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: normal
         Component: Core Packages
        AssignedTo: triage@...
        ReportedBy: vikinghat@...
         QAContact: bugs@...


Description of problem:
Using Mandriva 2010 RC2 KDE One, I select UK options for Keyboard, timezone,
and Language. However the Wifi is set to the US regulatory domain - which means
channels 12 and 13 are not available, as they should be.

Using the Advanced settings in the Network Center to change the regulatory
domain to GB, does not work in the One verson as a reboot is required.

So "iw reg set GB" in a root terminal is the only answer - but you have to know
to do this, and on occasion the regulatory domain gets reset back to US
(possibly when the network connection drops out?).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mandriva 2010 KDE One RC2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from Mandriva 2010 KDE One RC2 from cdrom.
2. Select Language English - not English (American)
3. Select Timezone London
4. Select Keyboard UK

Wireless networks on channels 12 and 13 will not be available to use.
dmesg will show US regulatory domain being set.

I guess the Language or timezone selection should set the default regulatory
domain?

Thanks for noticing this!

Could you please check if by changing the location to UK in draknetcenter, and
then restarting the network connection works?

I'll try fixing it before 2010 final.

Thanks!

OK I've set the location to GB (UK is not used in wireless regulatory settings)
in draknetcenter. Not sure how to restart the network connection - reattaching
the usb wifi stick brings the wireless network back up, but does not result in
the regulatory domain changing - still stuck on US with channels 12 and 13
missing.

do as root : service network restart
or use drakxservices to restart the netwxork service.

Yes thankyou - restarting the network service after changing the regulatory
domain to GB in draknetcenter works - (domain is changed to GB and channel 13
now works).

Perhaps a button to restart network in the advanced settings of draknetcenter
is the way forward?

draknetcenter should proposed to restart the service if this is needed.

Now draknetcenter will ask if you want to use new wireless regulatory domain if
it detects that it was changed. This way no network restart should be
necessary, new domain will be applied right after selecting it from Advanced
settings item.

Thanks for noticing this!

On second thought, I think it would be wiser to apply new regulatory domain
automatically. There is no real point in asking about it, as nothing (besides
the domain) is affected, and it will be automatically activated when network
restarts for the next time.

So you just select the right domain, and it will be activated automatically,
with no further actions from you.

Drakx-net with this update will be available shortly.

Sounds good, but if Mandriva One is started up with UK options will the
regulatory domain be automatically set to GB?

--- Comment #10 from Chris Hammond <vikinghat@...>  2009-11-04 11:12:23 CEST ---
OK I've downloaded Mandriva One KDE 2010 and booted off the resulting cdrom.
All looks good so far except the original problem reported above is still
present:

"I select UK options for Keyboard, timezone,
and Language. However the Wifi is set to the US regulatory domain - which means
channels 12 and 13 are not available"

Thanks to the work done above, going into draknetcenter and altering the
regulatory domain to GB now works without a reboot - thank you.  Unfortunately
this is still a workaround - if I give a a copy of Mandriva One to a new user I
can not be sure that their Wifi will work at boot.  Yes I know they'll have to
go in and enter WPA2 passphrases, but not seeing their network listed is not
going to encourage them.

So sorry that is why I've reopened this report.  Perhaps if the current
software architecture does not allow the regulatory domain to be automatically
assigned based on the users (language/timezone/keyboard/etc) selections then a
note is needed in the release notes?

Good - except.... I went ahead and downloaded the Mandriva 2010.0 Free DVD and
installed it to Hard disk, with a USB Wifi stick attached as normal.

The regulatory domain is stuck on US - no matter what the setting in the
Advanced settings (it actually had GB in the advanced setting when I first
looked). dmesg shows the regulatory domain set to GB and then later set to US,
with no further changes.

Restarting the network had no effect.
iw reg set GB, had no effect (or JP or 00). dmesg showed no further updates to
the regulatory domain.

Removing the USB wifi stick did not help, and bizarrely removing the kernel
modules for the wifi (zd1211rw, mac80211, cfg80211) just results in them
reappearing seconds later - but the USB wifi stick is disconnected.

So I manually added wifi network settings (SSID and WPA2 passphrase) in
draknetcenter, in the hope that network would connect on channel 13 during
boot. Reboot - still no good

Next reboot the PC with the USB wifi stick disconnected, and then plugging in
the USB wifi stick, dmesg showed regulatory domain GB.  Then launched
draknetcenter, my wifi AP on channel 13 is not listed - check dmesg and a
regulatory domain change to US has happened, but Advanced settings of
draknetcenter still says GB.  I repeated this last reboot step a couple of
times - it looks like the act of opening draknetcenter is causing the change in
regulatory domain to US - no matter what the setting of regulatory domain in
the advanced settings of draknetcenter. Once draknetcenter is opened dmesg
shows a change to US.

Then I find that iw reg set GB works, and Wifi connects on channel 13 - very
odd.

Have just powered on PC again with USB wifi stick plugged in, again the switch
to US regulatory domain occurs. iw reg set GB does nothing. Removed USB wifi
stick. Removed the kernel modules for wifi (zd1211rw, mac80211, cfg80211) they
actually stay gone this time, inserted USB wifi stick, dmesg shows regulatory
domain US. Used "iw reg set GB" and this time dmesg shows the regulatory domain
switches to GB.

So Mandriva 2010.0 One cdrom honours the dracknetcenter Advanced setting for
regulatory domain, but an install from Free DVD does not.

Help!

Original Bug Text:


Description of problem:
Using Mandriva 2010 RC2 KDE One, I select UK options for Keyboard, timezone, and Language. However the Wifi is set to the US regulatory domain - which means channels 12 and 13 are not available, as they should be.

Using the Advanced settings in the Network Center to change the regulatory domain to GB, does not work in the One verson as a reboot is required.

So "iw reg set GB" in a root terminal is the only answer - but you have to know to do this, and on occasion the regulatory domain gets reset back to US (possibly when the network connection drops out?).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mandriva 2010 KDE One RC2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from Mandriva 2010 KDE One RC2 from cdrom.
2. Select Language English - not English (American)
3. Select Timezone London
4. Select Keyboard UK

Wireless networks on channels 12 and 13 will not be available to use.
dmesg will show US regulatory domain being set.

I guess the Language or timezone selection should set the default regulatory domain?

After a lot of trial and error I have workaround for my PC with Mandriva 2010.0
KDE installed on the hard drive (with wifi on channel 13 from a USB stick that
uses the zd1211rw kernel module), put the following lines into
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

rmmod zd1211rw && rmmod mac80211 && rmmod cfg80211
sleep 8
iw reg set GB


It's a bit nasty, and the sleep time may need changing to be more reliable, but
so far it is working with no user interaction required.  Could still do with a
proper fix - there's been one incident after 3-4 hours where the regulatory
domain was switched back to US - no idea why yet - and I guess that may happen
again.  Note this PC is setup to autologin into a user account at boot.

Could you attach your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory?

Hi, I just installed Mandriva 2010.0 One from Live-CD (Final release) and
noticed this Bug while searching for another wireless-related bug i submitted
today ;)

The workaround you've built in works flawless for me, but as far as I
understand this issue the regulatory domain should be set during install by a
script. There's already a Questionbox to determine the locales-packages, so it
should be possible. (to be sure you can alternatively take the answer from the
questionbox about the time domain. i can think of a few reasons to use a
different language but i wouldn't deliberately set my machine for a wrong
timezone.)
