Intel WiFi Linux driver update for ETSI 5GHz Adaptivity Requirement

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1769980

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

I'm not sure here whether the xenial nomination is meant to apply to the linux package. If so ...

That list of kernel patches is probably correct for bionic. Xenial however is going to require additional patches. The wmm rules are only available with the newer, extensible regdb format which is supported in 4.15 but not in 4.4. So to have any hope of using the wmm rules with 4.4 there would need to be a number of additional backports.

The wireless-regdb changes for xenial will also need some consideration. With the new regdb format there was also a transition to loading the regdb as a firmware file signed with a key whose public half is baked into the kernel. My thinking is that we should just stop building the regdb files from source and ship the pre-built (and pre-signed) upstream binaries. I think this should be fine for xenial but we will need to verify.

@sforshee

We need to provide a solution for Xenial v4.4 kernel for our OEM projects, but since the kernel is too far behind, we will take another approach to provide the driver update instead of patching the kernel.
Besides v4.4, we also use 16.04.4 in our projects, so we will need to update linux-firmware and wireless-regdb on Xenial. For the kernel we will fix in linux-oem 4.13.

4.13 will also be missing support for the new regulatory database format, so I'd expect the effort to backport there to be similar to that for 4.4.

Not just the changes to support for the new regulatory database format, but also to support the new firmware, as FW API has bumped and may need to pull in more patches. For example, 3165/7265D/8260 NIC in v4.4 supports FW API from 13 to 19, but the new FW for 3165/7265D has bumped to API 29, and 8260 has bumped to 36.

I released a new wireless-regdb yesterday with the changes needed for this. I've also prepped an update for cosmic and handed it off to apw for review. Once that's done we can backport to bionic at least. For xenial we will need to confirm that the crda version is new enough to ship with my public key first, otherwise signature verification for the db will fail (as the new package will switch from building the db from source to just shipping the dbs and signatures from the upstream release).

@Anthony: will someone be sending a pull request for linux-firmware?

Yes, I will send one.

Turns out there's a hiccup with the crda update for xenial, unbeknownst to us wireless-regdb is (incorrectly) already installing my public key. The easiest path forward seems to be just leaving crda as is and making the regdb update continue to install my key. As such I'm marking verification for xenial as failed.

This conflict is causing daily image builds to fail in xenial, so I'm removing the v-failed SRU from xenial-proposed.

I have accepted both the xenial and bionic wireless-regdb uploads. One thing that stood out was the __eq__ implementation in the 0001-wireless-regdb-Fix-comparison-of-WmmRule-with-NoneTy.patch patch which seems to look a bit strange (no _as_tuple() before the comparison), but I have been informed that even if it's wrong it will have no impact on the actual package. Just something worth noting.
