Unable to set/change Country Region 1FX (CYW43364)

[joanllopart]

Hi,

We are unable to change the Wi-Fi available channels that appears in the "iw list". We want to be able to connect to channels 12 and 13. Seems that by default, the module uses the USA regulatory channels.

What is strange?

Before up the interface, I can set the country region, and with iw list, we can see the 14 Wi-Fi channels, but after bring up the interface with, ifup wlan0, the iw list, shows 11 channels:

1. iw list:  
2.   
3.                 Frequencies:  
4.                         * 2412 MHz [1] (20.0 dBm)  
5.                         * 2417 MHz [2] (20.0 dBm)  
6.                         * 2422 MHz [3] (20.0 dBm)  
7.                         * 2427 MHz [4] (20.0 dBm)  
8.                         * 2432 MHz [5] (20.0 dBm)  
9.                         * 2437 MHz [6] (20.0 dBm)  
10.                         * 2442 MHz [7] (20.0 dBm)  
11.                         * 2447 MHz [8] (20.0 dBm)  
12.                         * 2452 MHz [9] (20.0 dBm)  
13.                         * 2457 MHz [10] (20.0 dBm)  
14.                         * 2462 MHz [11] (20.0 dBm)  

We have tried to install crda:

1. iw reg set JP  
2. iw reg get  
3. global  
4. country JP: DFS-JP  
5.         (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)  
6.         (2474 - 2494 @ 20), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-OFDM  
7.         (4910 - 4990 @ 40), (N/A, 23), (N/A)  
8.         (5030 - 5090 @ 40), (N/A, 23), (N/A)  
9.         (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW  
10.         (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW  
11.         (5490 - 5710 @ 160), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS  
12.   
13.   
14. global  
15. country JP: DFS-JP  
16.         (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)  
17.         (2474 - 2494 @ 20), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-OFDM  
18.         (4910 - 4990 @ 40), (N/A, 23), (N/A)  
19.         (5030 - 5090 @ 40), (N/A, 23), (N/A)  
20.         (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW  
21.         (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW  
22.         (5490 - 5710 @ 160), (N/A, 23), (0 ms), DFS  

The CRDA shows that all is configured to accept the channles 12 and 13, but iw list, is showing the same available channels.

We have tried to use wl command:

1. wl -i wlan0 country JP  
2. wl -i wlan0 channels  
3. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14  

The wl shows that all is configured correctly, but any changes in iw list.

Nothing works.

Our linux only is can see the channels from 1 to 11.

About our linux:

Could be this the problem?

Can anyone help us? We are really stuck on this. ( 4 days at lest with no result  )

Thank you so much in advance to read this post.@
