On a computer with the Intel 7265D wifi device iw reg get produces the following output:globalcountry 00: DFS-UNSET    (2402 - 2472 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)    (2457 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-IR    (2474 - 2494 @ 20), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-OFDM, NO-IR    (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), AUTO-BW, NO-IR    (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW, NO-IR    (5490 - 5730 @ 160), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), DFS, NO-IR    (5735 - 5835 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-IR    (57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 0), (N/A)phy#0 (self-managed)country DE: DFS-UNSET    (2402 - 2482 @ 40), (6, 22), (N/A), AUTO-BW, NO-HT40PLUS, NO-80MHZ, NO-160MHZ    (5170 - 5250 @ 80), (6, 22), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW, GO-CONCURRENT, NO-HT40PLUS, NO-160MHZ, PASSIVE-SCAN    (5250 - 5330 @ 80), (6, 22), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW, NO-HT40PLUS, NO-160MHZ, PASSIVE-SCAN    (5490 - 5730 @ 80), (6, 22), (0 ms), DFS, AUTO-BW, NO-HT40PLUS, NO-160MHZ, PASSIVE-SCAN    (5735 - 5815 @ 80), (6, 22), (N/A), AUTO-BW, GO-CONCURRENT, NO-HT40PLUS, NO-160MHZ, PASSIVE-SCAN    (5815 - 5835 @ 20), (6, 22), (N/A), AUTO-BW, GO-CONCURRENT, NO-HT40MINUS, NO-HT40PLUS, NO-160MHZ, PASSIVE-SCANAccording to the output the wifi card seems to manage the regulatory domain itself.The set country DE is correct, but the information on the used frequencies and txpowers do not match the regulations for DE.On a another computer with a Intel 7260 I get the following output and this is what I expect.country DE: DFS-ETSI   (2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)   (5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW   (5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS, AUTO-BW   (5470 - 5725 @ 160), (N/A, 26), (0 ms), DFS   (57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)This is the list I expect from reading the wireless-regdb (see http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/sforshee/wireless-regdb.git/tree/db.txt).The problematic output for the 7265 was produced on computer running openSUSE Leap 42.1.The crda version is 3.18-5.1 and the version of wireless-regdb is 2015.07.20-1.1. Thus outdated versions cannot be the reason for this problem.My guess is, that the output of iw reg get is not correct for self-managed devices. This would explain the correct information in case of the 7260 module. According to iw this is not self-managed.Thank you very much.P.S.: some information on the 7265D module[...]loaded firmware version 25.30.13.0 op_mode iwlmvm[...]Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7265, REV=0x210
