ath confusing log message "country IE"

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

 



Dear all,

would it be possible to re-write the log message from
   "regdomain ... dynamically updated by country IE"
in a less ambiguous way, e.g. to:
   "regdomain ... dynamically updated by country-IE"
   "regdomain ... dynamically updated by country information element"
, please?

To the occasional reader, the following system log messages seem to convey that
 -  "DE" (Germany) was intended to be used, but
 -  "IE" (Ireland) was configured as regdomain.

    [ 2723.739071] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x8114
    [ 2723.739072] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a country code
    [ 2723.739073] ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search
    [ 2723.739074] ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x37
    [ 2723.739075] ath: Country alpha2 being used: DE
    [ 2723.739076] ath: Regpair used: 0x37
    [ 2723.739077] ath: regdomain 0x8114 dynamically updated by country IE

Only after intense googling, I now know that IE stands for "information element", not for Ireland. But this is not obvious at. To prevent others from confusion and wasting time on a non-problem, could please someone rewrite the log message?

Regards,
Bernhard

PS: The example log is from a machine with "Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174" but I fancy other drivers may show same/similar messages.
