From 933885ecca1a2b8fa03b5756ba1cbb9f094a5861 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2016 21:26:18 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix 5G failure when EEPROM is incorrectly encoded 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.
