Hi, The Samsung Galaxy book wireless card Atheros QCA 6174 is not usable on standard kernel since the driver doesn't know the 0x5F reg domain. A patch is available since 2 years and solve the problem (see patched attached to this bug). More information can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1615436 Would it be possible to integrate that patch to the kernel source in order to get this card working on samsung devices? Thank you in advance.

I know several owners of these laptops that are frustrated by this bug for a long time, esp. because the tiny bug fix is known for a long time and reported as fine.
bugzilla is not really the place for submitting patches, nor expecting responses from maintainers. The documentation for submitting patches for drivers/net/wireless/ is here: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches Bugzilla can be OK for documenting the problem, so you have a good link when sending a formal patch, but unfortunately, bugzilla does not get regular attention. And even if you can't go through submitting the patch yourself, can we get a proper attribution and Signed-off-by from the patch author? With that, an enterprising individual could submit such a patch on your behalf. Also, for the patch: > - {CTRY_KOREA_ROC, APL9_WORLD, "KR"}, > + {CTRY_KOREA_ROC, APL10_WORLD, "KR"}, This part feels wrong to me, but I'm not that familiar with ath regd handling. It seems like you might need a new entry, rather than replacing one. But I'd leave that up to code review on the linux-wireless mailing list, I suppose. Marking NEEDINFO, because the patch can't go anywhere without providing the appropriate Signed-off-by and From lines, at a minimum.
