Subject: iwlwifi Centrino Advanced-N 6235, setting regulatory domain with iw reg set XX doesn't work.

Hi

I seem to have to take a second hurdle in using my Centrino Advanced-N 6235 with linux.

I'm trying to set the regulatory domain (currenly world domain (00))
But a "iw reg set US" or "iw reg set NL" does not succeed.

# iw reg get
country 00:
(2402 - 2472 @ 40), (6, 20)
(2457 - 2482 @ 40), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(2474 - 2494 @ 20), (6, 20), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(5735 - 5835 @ 80), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 0)

# iw reg set US

# iw reg get
country 00:
(2402 - 2472 @ 40), (6, 20)
(2457 - 2482 @ 40), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(2474 - 2494 @ 20), (6, 20), NO-OFDM, PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(5735 - 5835 @ 80), (6, 20), PASSIVE-SCAN, NO-IBSS
(57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 0)

The only thing is this message in dmesg:
"cfg80211: Pending regulatory request, waiting for it to be processed...".

I did enable some of the kernel wifi debug options, but there is no error or more informatie.
But it doesn't get set as you can see above.

Attached:
dmesg.txt complete dmesg
iw-info.txt output of "iw phy0 info"

This is most probably not related to the device itself.
Luis?
