Created attachment 329060 [details] dmesg full output Description of problem: dmesg output with kernel 2.6.28-3.fc10 shows this: cfg80211: Using static regulatory domain info cfg80211: Regulatory domain: US (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2700 mBm) (5170000 KHz - 5190000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2300 mBm) (5190000 KHz - 5210000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2300 mBm) (5210000 KHz - 5230000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2300 mBm) (5230000 KHz - 5330000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2300 mBm) (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (600 mBi, 3000 mBm) cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: US even though I live in Italy. As far as I know US and EU regulatory domains are slightly different, so these settings might cause problems here. System is a Compal JFL92 (rebranded as Santech X3610) with an Intel 4965 card, using F10 x86_64. 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) How is the regulatory domain determined? By hardware? Router settings? Can I enforce it with some kernel parameter? Thank you in advance. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.28-3.fc10.x86_64 iwl4965-firmware-228.57.2.23-2.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just boot
Add a file in /etc/modprobe.d (e.g. /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211) with the following contents: options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom="EU" Eventually we will have something nicer, but for now this is what you need.

Ah sorry, just found out iw reg set EU
Thas's not needed anymore now, just install crda.
