--- Comment #1 from Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> ---
But that's not an iwlwifi problem but a general problem with almost all  modern
chipsets doing more than basic rates.

I just wrote LinuxKPi more chatty to help finding issues as otherwise none of
these messages would ever be logged.

If we wanted to add a warning anywhere we'd have to try to match the configured
country code and the country code (if announced) by the AP (see ifconfig -v
wlan0 list scan) for the same BSSID.  So ifconfig, wpa_supplicant or even
net80211 could do that in a general way more easily.

I'll adjust the title and direct it to the net80211 PR pile for when we get to
the big regdomain makeover in 2026 hopefully.
