> Recently, it has been reported that D-Link DWA-582 cards, which use an > RTL8812AE chip are not able to scan for 5G networks. The problems started > with kernel 4.2, which is the first version that had commit d10101a60372 > ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix problem with regulatory information"). With this > patch, the driver went from setting a default channel plan to using > the value derived from EEPROM. > > Bug reports at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111031 and > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279653 are examples of this > problem. > > The problem was solved once I learned that the internal country code was > resulting in a regulatory set with only 2.4 GHz channels. With the RTL8821AE > chips available to me, the country code was such that both 2.4 and 5 GHz > channels are allowed. The fix is to allow both bands even when the EEPROM > is incorrectly encoded. > > Fixes: d10101a60372 ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix problem with regulatory information") > Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: littlesmartguy@xxxxxxxxx > Cc: gabe@xxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: Stable <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [v4.2+] Thanks, applied to wireless-drivers.git.
