From 3cc4fd73708451ae6b24fa9f1f57d0d6cdb404b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2015 16:39:28 +0000 Subject: ath: relax regulatory rules for default regd code Most AP devices out there do not have a properly programmed regulatory domain code, which means they are limited to US frequencies by default. This has been a major annoyance for a long time now. Since no fix for the manfuacturing process seems to be forthcoming, the only sane option seems to be to allow users to change the country code in such cases.
