I was surprised that the wireless regdb provided with Ubuntu 15.04 is
almost 2 years old.
Are you aware of the reason Ubuntu is not providing a updated regdb by default?
Thanks,
Nuno

Yeah, we had a bug reported from the community that turned out to be
about this:

This doesn't really seem on topic for the mailing list as it's a distro
issue.
But yes, it recently came to my attention that our distro package hadn't
been updated in a while (I don't maintain the distro package and
obviously wasn't paying close enough attention). It will be updated
soon.

It's likely we'll start pulling in updates on a continuing basis for as
long as a release is supported. It's been on the list of things to get
worked out right after 15.04 releases, i.e. this week.

Oh, so does this mean that the old regdb doesn't support 80 MHz
channels? Is there any way to make it easier to update the regdb in
older Ubuntu versions?
