Package: linux-diversion-__DEB_VERSION__-ath-regd-optional
Architecture: amd64
Version: __LINUX_REVISION__
Maintainer: Sebastian Philipp <account-gitlab-ideynizv@kernelpanic.lol>
Section: kernel
Priority: optional
Depends: linux-image-__DEB_VERSION__-amd64 (= __LINUX_REVISION__)
Description: ath kernel module diversion disabling faulty regdom sanitization
Starting with linux-5.10, the "ath" wireless driver "sanitizes" the
regdom value 0x00 (= unset) to 0x64 (= worldwide, most restricted),
which works fine in STA mode, but does not permit setting a more
relaxed regdom in AP mode, breaking 5 GHz Wi-Fi. This package diverts
ath.ko and replaces it with a patched version that does not perform
this sanitization procedure.
