[PATCH] wireless-regdb: Fix overlapping ranges for Switzerland and Liechtenstein

[PATCH] wireless-regdb: Fix overlapping ranges for Switzerland and Liechtenstein

[Martin Willi]

The commit referenced below changes the 5GHz frequency range 5250-5330
to 5150-5330, making that range overlapping with the existing range
5170-5250. This imposes DFS limitations and a reduced maximum power
level for the range 5170-5250.

The change of the frequency range seems not intentional. Instead the
commit should have changed the 5170-5250 range to 5150-5250, and the
5250-5330 range to 5250-5350 (see [1]).

Applied, thanks!

Update to wireless-regdb about Italy

[gb]

Hi

I'm Italian and I work in Italy, I realize that nowadays the regdb entry 
for Italy is as follows:

country IT: DFS-ETSI
     (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (20)
     (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (20), AUTO-BW, wmmrule=ETSI
     (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (20), DFS, AUTO-BW, wmmrule=ETSI
     (5490 - 5710 @ 160), (27), DFS, wmmrule=ETSI
     # 60 GHz band channels 1-4, ref: Etsi En 302 567
     (57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (40)

And it misses the lines:

     # Short Range Devices (SRD) (ETSI EN 300 440)
     (5725 - 5875 @ 80), (25 mW)

Common to may European Countries.

I dug a bit in the current Italian regulation that is online on the 
website of the
Ministry of Economic Development: https://www.mise.gov.it/index.php/en/

In the section about the "National Plan of Frequencies" (only in 
Italian) at the URL:

https://www.mise.gov.it/index.php/it/comunicazioni/radio/pnrf-piano-nazionale-di-ripartizione-delle-frequenze 


Two PDF files are linked:

--Tabelle di attribuzione Tabella B (27,50 MHz – 10.000 MHz) (pdf)
https://www.mise.gov.it/images/stories/documenti/Tabella_B_2750_MHz-10000_Mhz.pdf 

Which at page 28 allows the use for ISM according to the general 
European legislation: 2006/771/CE ERC/REC 70-03

--Note (esplicative, di carattere tecnico e con attribuzioni in deroga 
al piano) (pdf)
https://www.mise.gov.it/images/stories/documenti/NOTE-pnrf.pdf
Which at page 334, in the paragraph 3.2.3 states in a explicit way the 
permit to operate the in the band 5.725 ÷ 5.875 MHz,
with SRD and max power at 25 mW.

According to this regulation there's no reason not to have the:
  (5725 - 5875 @ 80), (25 mW)
Inserted for Italy in the regdb

Who can do it ?

The page/section numbers you gave for the second document don't
correspond to what I'm seeing, but it does look like you are right that
the entry can be added to the regdb. Anyone can send patches for the
regdb, so if you know how to do that please feel free to do so.
Otherwise let me know and I can prepare a patch.

Thanks,
Seth
