 emily | in fact the commit that added the seemingly-incorrect information for 6 GHz says "Regulatory update for 6 GHz operation in FI" and cites an EU regulation for the FI update without changing the citations in the GB section at all 😆 | 12:49:47 |
| emily | I guess this is motivation to get NixOS on the thing ASAP, because then it would be trivial to patch :) | 12:50:00 |
| emily | aha, and https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wens/wireless-regdb.git/commit/?id=6c7cbccaee121772a23fa0efdfefcdd8a2369985 fixed a similar issue for other countries. ok, that makes me confident enough to send something | 12:54:44 |
| emily | https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20250529135706.31269-1-linux@emily.moe/T/#u first patch I've ever sent to kernel lists 🎉 | 14:02:11 |
 K900 | Hm | 14:03:41 |
| K900 | Now I'm wondering what the source is for 160MHz being the limit in Russia | 14:03:49 |
| emily | my guess: they set it in WiFi 6E days | 14:06:07 |
 magic_rb | I dont eben know where i would look for accurate numbers for the NL. Doesn't help i dont speak dutch | 14:06:12 |
| emily | there was no reason to say 320 MHz because it wasn't a thing | 14:06:14 |
| emily | going by 6c7cbccaee121772a23fa0efdfefcdd8a2369985 it seems like most countries don't actually specify anything about bandwidth because why would you if you have overall power limits and a restricted range? | 14:06:36 |
| emily | idk, maybe it's different in 2.4 GHz because it's so congested | 14:06:45 |
| K900 | You know what | 14:06:47 |
| K900 | YOU KNOW WHAT | 14:06:49 |
| emily | I'm actually unsure why they set an upper limit at all for those cases | 14:07:06 |
| emily | it seems like they should support omitting it so that you can continue to use higher bandwidths as they're added to the standards | 14:07:14 |
| K900 | Yeah I don't think there's actually a limit | 14:07:34 |
| emily | I guess maybe the kernel can't know that it shouldn't go above the upper range, if the total band size is less than the maximum bandwidth, or something like that. | 14:07:52 |
| emily | excited to receive your patch in my inbox :p | 14:08:09 |
| K900 | Ugh | 14:08:31 |
| K900 | Not today | 14:08:34 |
 raitobezarius | i was confused at start reading "230 MHz" in the subject until i read the changes | 14:20:57 |
| raitobezarius | everyone is having fun with their BPI-R4 fixing all the bugs so i can just have maximal enjoyment when i set up mine | 14:21:25 |
|  raul joined the room. | 14:23:58 |
| emily | agh :( | 14:44:15 |
| emily | time to figure out how to send a v2 with send-email | 14:44:20 |
| emily | I checked over it multiple times too | 14:44:50 |
 ma27 | emily just in case you didn't know, I usually check https://git-send-email.io/#step-4 whenever I need it. | 14:46:49 |
| emily | I've managed to make this change only the second time I've had to git send-email in my life | 14:49:31 |
| emily | but I fear there may be more to come | 14:49:40 |
| emily | if I have to do it a fourth time I might implement native support in Jujutsu instead :) | 14:49:56 |
