Vigor 2820 wireless regulatory domain was created by seanparsons
Recently I've been having some issues with a wireless adapter in Linux connected to my Vigor 2820. Something I've discovered while diagnosing is that when connecting to the connecting to the wireless the 2820 seems to be giving my wireless adapter the hint that it's in Taiwan, which is clearly not right.

Following is a chunk of dmesg logs from my desktop:
Code:

At the start you can see me explicitly setting it to GB using the iw command line tool, but then subsequent authentication to the wireless causes it to flip back to TW automatically.

Is there anyway to stop the router from doing this or am I lumbered with forcing my wireless to be configured incorrectly?

Unbelievable, there's no mention of that or anything like it in the readme files, so I just never bothered, that's at least fixed that issue, thanks!
