Gwell, I am going to follow all this **** process but I'd rather think it"s
a configuration issue than a kernel issue. Given, for example, that it
comes with  12.04 LTS too.

you are clouding the issue ?

Title:
  Regulatory domain is not set by default after install for wifi

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After installation of ubuntu 13.10, /etc/default/crda contains the line
  REGDOMAIN=
  i.e. there is no regulatory domain set for the cfg80211 kernel module.

  iw reg get shows a
  country 00
  when I run iw list, it shows channel 12 and 13 as
  "(passive scanning, no IBSS)"
  (which is normal given that the reg domain is not set or the default one)

  hence, I can't even see a public wifi hotspot on channel 13 using
  ubuntu 13.10, in a local fast food restaurant with a big yellow M.
  It's the second one, and they really like to broadcast on channel 13,
  here....

  As the installation process knowns the local time, it should be able
  to set the regulatory domain, either to EU or FR in my case, and avoid
  being forced to reboot into Windows (I had the option to), ignoring
  the root cause of the problem.

  So, if I quote the text in comment in /etc/default/crda, every default
  ubuntu installation "may infrige  on local legislature" (not in my
  case here)

  the bug is already in ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

  this is irrelevant but I use the bcmwl-kernel-source driver for my
  Dell 1704 Wireless card based on broadcom BCM4312 chipset on an
  Inspiron 15 (3521).
