Check the output of dmesg to see what domain is being set. If you have CRDA installed, then you can force the use of Germany in the domain by creating a file named /etc/modprobe.d/50-cfg80211.conf containing a single line with "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE" (without the quote marks). You can get a list of available networks using iwconfig or iw. I know those work. As I do not test, support, nor condone packet injection, I cannot speak to it working on any driver. Larry
