Would have been nice to have some info about the relevant components directly in the subject. And iw is not that relevant - it is just a tool which you used to inspect the state of the system.

But the kernel might use it - like in your example. Unfortunately, the previously mentioned firmware includes an own regulatory db which is then used for the phy0 ("self managed"). But the commit at least provides some good reasons why Intel might consider enabling the indoor channel in the frequency range 5945 - 6425 MHz. It would therefore be nice to know whether/when Intel actually has plans to enable these channels in Germany (and not only for the US) in the near future. Maybe there are even newer (test) firmware versions available but I am not aware of any newer firmware version than the previously mentioned one [1]. And this firmware was published for linux-firmware right around the time when Vfg. 55/2021 was released - so it is to some extend expected that Intel didn't yet incorporated such a change. I only saw newer releases for other HW [2] but not for Ty.

Johannes asked to forward it to the support system [1]. This was done now by Sharadanand [2]. Interested persons might check the status there in case there is no update in this thread. Just for the laughs: Intel recommended [3] a couple of weeks ago to get a cellar [4] where your Intel card can only receive an (from a legal perspective incorrectly configured) AP which was set to the US country code. While it is dubious for various reasons, this was part of the marked as solution (which closed the discussion). I still hope that Intel customers aren't forced to move their apartments into properly shielded cellars to use Intel HW. Would give the German term "Kellerkind" a new meaning. :) Kind regards, Sven [1] https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#support [2] https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/6-GHz-Wifi-with-AX210/td-p/1329556 [3] https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/6-GHz-Wifi-with-AX210-and-Ubuntu-20-04/td-p/1318011 [4] I still have some hope that they actually meant "shield box" here.
