Unable to set wifi regulatory region
#1
I'm not able to scan for or connect to several of my usual wifi networks (generally the higher numbers).

iw reg get showed I had an unset (00) region so I tried to set it and I don't seem to be able to. I'm using Manjaro pre-release 4 but have seen similar behavior on Debian.

I've tried a few different ways of setting my region but none have had worked.
- Setting region with iw reg set returns 0 but has no effect.
- Installing crda and setting my region via /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom doesn't have an effect.
- Setting it manually in the module with echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=US" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf does at first appear to work when I check my region but I'm still not able to see any more channels.


I can work around this at home (at the cost of more congestion) by setting a lower channel, but when traveling i'm out of luck pretty often.
