BT4 - Enable Channels 12,13,14
To enable "non-US" channels on your wireless card under BT4 (and the new mac80211 stack):
You will need to download a few packages, and programs to enable use of the upper channels of the 802.11b/g spectrum:
Code:
apt-get install python-m2crypto libgcrypt11 libgcrypt11-dev
download crda and the latest wireless-regdb, both of which can be found at:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/develo...egulatory/CRDA
Next, extract the wireless-regdb contents:
Code:
tar xvjf wireless-regdb-2008.11.17.tar.bz2 (latest file when I tried this)
and copy the file "regulatory.bin" to /usr/lib/crda/
Code:
mkdir /usr/lib/crda
cp regulatory.bin /usr/lib/crda/
Next, untar the CRDA tarball you downloaded:
Code:
tar xvjf crda-1.0.1.tar.bz2
change dir to the resulting crda directory, compile and install:
Code:
cd crda-1.0.1
make && make install
Copy the file regulatory.rules found in the udev subdirectory under crda to /etc/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rules
Code:
cd udev
cp regulatory.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rules
Now, you should be able to set your country code using iw:
(where ## is the ISO Alpha2 code for your country such as DK for Denmark)
This should open up all the channels that are usable in your particular country.
Use iw to see what frequencies/channels are available:
Enable Channels for 12, 13
Thx cybersnper!
Really needed this but there seem to be some typos in what you did here. The problems I am had are the following.
After the first typo on the tar xvzj wireless-regdb-2008.11.17.tar.bz2 – Just a typo. I make the make the dir “crdu” under /usr/lib/ … cool cool. From the untared folder I just copy the new regulatory.bin to the new /usr/lib/crda folder , np.
This is where I don't quite follow you. I now go into /usr/lib/crda and run
make && make install ? All that is in there is the regulatory.bin that I cp over into that folder. Can't find any subdirectory “udev”under crda ether.
I tried this using the same exact wireless-regdb-2008.11.17.tar.bz2 (not the newest one) that you used on BT4.
I am sure I could just go into http://linuxwireless.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA and fix this in no time but maybe others might fall into some of the pitfalls that I did if they follow your tut. Don't want to be a butt wad but this is a "BT4beta HowTo's"
All the best

Channels 12,13 CRDA is not called by kernel?
Thx cybr! Reads like a charm now!
Was wondering if you are having the same problems as I have. Everything works fine until I reboot. Then all falls to default. Working off a 32GB USB...yeah I can save. After a quick look it would seem that the kernel is having problems speaking to the userspace events. Or that CRDA is not called right. I am not really sure.
played a little with to see what was up etc.
# udevadm monitor --environment kernel
I can fix this by just doing the following at every reboot :rolleyes:
# cp regulatory.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rules
# iw reg set SE
This one has me stumped. Any ideas?
Best to ya!
onryo
