I have installed arch to a laptop CLI only ( just base and base-devlel with wireless) and updated to the latest packages. I have setup the wireless manually. I am in the US and have a wireless access point by tenda (china) and the access point is open no security. My desktop arch install does not have this problem it works without error. When I bring up the wlan0 interface the kernel log shows CRDA calling for country US followed by CRDA calling for county CN and changing the regulatory domain to CN. Later it calls for the US regulatory domain set to US and wlan0 is deauthenticated. iw dev wlan0 connect ESSID causes wlan0 to be authenticated and wireless sevice returns. How does one set this crda thing up so it does not slay the wireless connection? Google doesn't have any info on how to fix this This is from the log Nov 29 19:37:50 lapdog kernel: [ 8.027994] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: CN Nov 29 19:37:50 lapdog kernel: [ 8.032220] cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: CN Nov 29 19:37:50 lapdog kernel: [ 8.032226] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) Nov 29 19:37:50 lapdog kernel: [ 8.032231] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:37:50 lapdog kernel: [ 8.032235] cfg80211: (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 3000 mBm) Nov 29 19:38:11 lapdog kernel: [ 31.076726] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10) Nov 29 19:38:11 lapdog kernel: [ 31.164873] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: US Nov 29 19:38:11 lapdog kernel: [ 31.170527] cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: US Nov 29 19:38:11 lapdog kernel: [ 31.170533] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) Nov 29 19:38:11 lapdog kernel: [ 31.170538] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2700 mBm) Nov 29 19:38:11 lapdog kernel: [ 31.170542] cfg80211: (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 1700 mBm) Nov 29 19:38:11 lapdog kernel: [ 31.170546] cfg80211: (5250000 KHz - 5330000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:38:11 lapdog kernel: [ 31.170550] cfg80211: (5490000 KHz - 5600000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:38:11 lapdog kernel: [ 31.170554] cfg80211: (5650000 KHz - 5710000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:38:11 lapdog kernel: [ 31.170558] cfg80211: (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 3000 mBm) Nov 29 19:38:12 lapdog kernel: [ 32.336761] wlan0: authenticate with c8:3a:35:40:47:88 (try 1) Nov 29 19:38:12 lapdog kernel: [ 32.338348] wlan0: authenticated Nov 29 19:38:12 lapdog kernel: [ 32.338379] wlan0: associate with c8:3a:35:40:47:88 (try 1) Nov 29 19:38:12 lapdog kernel: [ 32.340814] wlan0: RX AssocResp from c8:3a:35:40:47:88 (capab=0x1 status=0 aid=3) Nov 29 19:38:12 lapdog kernel: [ 32.340818] wlan0: associated Nov 29 19:38:12 lapdog kernel: [ 32.341622] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: CN Nov 29 19:38:12 lapdog kernel: [ 32.345997] cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: CN Nov 29 19:38:12 lapdog kernel: [ 32.346003] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) Nov 29 19:38:12 lapdog kernel: [ 32.346006] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:38:12 lapdog kernel: [ 32.346010] cfg80211: (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 3000 mBm) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.639351] wlan0: deauthenticated from c8:3a:35:40:47:88 (Reason: 3) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.666833] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.671216] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated: Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.671222] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.671227] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.671231] cfg80211: (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.671235] cfg80211: (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.671239] cfg80211: (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.671243] cfg80211: (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.671451] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: US Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.677024] cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: US Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.677029] cfg80211: (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.677034] cfg80211: (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2700 mBm) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.677038] cfg80211: (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 1700 mBm) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.677042] cfg80211: (5250000 KHz - 5330000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.677045] cfg80211: (5490000 KHz - 5600000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Nov 29 19:43:12 lapdog kernel: [ 331.677049] cfg80211: (5650000 KHz - 5710000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) Anyone?
