hostapd-2.10: Invalid country_code '00'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

since the hostapd bump to version 2.10 the special world regulatory domain
country code '00' is denied with the following error message (see e.g. [1]):

	Invalid country_code '00'

I think this happens since commit e149051ced781ef7b29ae47e98c6d06e4e666f68 ([2])

        hostapd: Validate the country_code parameter value

        cfg80211/regulatory supports only ISO 3166-1 alpha2 country code and
        that's what this parameter is supposed to use, so validate the country
        code input before accepting the value. Only characters A..Z are
        accepted.

Should '00' be handled/allowed as special case?

Regards,
Peter
