Hi. I was setting my 5Ghz wifi and I noticed that my country (IR) regdb doesn't have any reference from government docs: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wens/wireless-regdb.git/tree/db.txt#n934
I was wonder that where I can find docs about this, I searched the doc center (https://asnad.cra.ir/ ) but it's confusing. There is a table about frequencies allocation but I can't understand that Wi-Fi is in what category (It's even in this doc?): https://asnad.cra.ir/fa/File?id=ba77d514-e47c-4e73-98f5-4610102234c6 or https://asnad.cra.ir/fa/Public/Documents/Details/03a5e436-7682-ec11-9696-0050569b0899
There is an English version of doc center, But it seems a little old: https://asnad.cra.ir/en
My problem with current situation is
Why these numbers are in regdb? What's the source? I used github blame to find the first commit that adds this, but looks like my country is added since first commit (from 2010) and had a little change over last 15 years ago (only change is the "DFS-JP").
Is these numbers are correct? if not probably we would have conflict in other radio devices.
Best Regards

No idea, check your local pages? Your gov blocks access for foreigners to their sites.
Right now my question is the Wi-Fi can be considered "mobile" band freq or not? because that table specify mobile band allocations.

You understand that nobody outside can access those pages? No tor nodes in your country, and no access from abroad, even bordering countries.
If there is any cnahge required you must communicate upstream:
https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/en/developers/regulatory/wireless-regdb.html#mailing-list-for-regulatory-updates
EDIT: openwrt will pick up update with next stable release
That's weird because I tested those links with VPN and worked completely fine (but not with tor). Anyway, thanks for notifying me.
Thanks for the link. I will check that mailing list.

with VPN
Probably its the sneaky VPN that gets local sites directly. Anyway good luck with getting the regdb up to date.

No point discussing here. Your channel plan does not show unlicensed parameters, like 20dBm indoor EIRP.

I managed to find the correct document (and yes it's inaccessible outside of Iran), Sent a mail to linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org and the 2025-02-20 release of linux-regdb includes the necessary changes for my country: https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wens/wireless-regdb.git/commit/?id=4d754a1d5a3eeb56f816ac569bdc806b66a9c75f
Thank you @brada4 for pointing out kernel docs.

If you can pass the message in github to rush it into next minor revisions?
