Bugzilla – Bug 9624
Update wireless regions
Last modified: 2009-10-05 14:28:46 UTC
According to this list in wikipedia there is no difference in wlan channels anymore for France and Europe, or US and Canada http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels looking at that reference, it's changed even more from what we have now: United States & Mexico Canada Europe France China Taiwan Australia Japan And it should be updated to: North America Europe China Japan Australia Israel This would also need to be addressed on the classic platforms, please reassign there when this is completed (or create a referenced bug).
I'm fairly certain I can handle this one...
I am pretty sure the wikipedia list is accurate, however should we not confirm the list with an official instance first, maybe Wi-Fi alliance, before we start implementing it?
I also wonder what people in 'south america' would choose?
I downloaded and looked through the 2007 IEEE spec that is cited in the wikipedia article. In appendicies in that doc, Canada is treated separately from U.S. and France is treated separately from Europe. Hard to figure out what the authoritative source for this should be... Also, I'd second Felix, we'd also need to figure out what the rest of the world should choose, since it doesn't cover all geographic regions.
Dean, back to you...I've not found any definitive documentation for this... what do you want me to do?
Felix, can you look into this for 8.0?
Moving target.
This should happen when code base merge occurs. Only caveat is that people upgrading firmware should auto update to 'other'
Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code. Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the single original product.
Reset priority before triage.
Felix, we need to confirm this works ok on a Controller upgrade.
During a Controller upgrade from 7.3. to 7.4. wireless region will stay the same, i.e. it will be one out of the long list we had. But Controller will keep working. As soon as a factory reset is done while on 7.4. only two regions (US, other) will be used from then on. I've also talked to Richard about this and he too thinks there should be no issue with wireless regions.
