iwlwifi/AX210: country AU maps to ROW and omits common Australian 5 GHz channels 36-48

Hi Folks, I am new to this, so apologies if this is a duplicate (I checked but not sure if checked right) On FreeBSD 15 with Intel AX210 using iwlwifi, setting country AU results in: regdomain ROW country AU The resulting channel list omits common Australian 5 GHz channels 36-48 and only exposes 5 GHz channels 149, 153, 157, and 161. Using country US regdomain FCC exposes channel 36 and allows association to an AP on channel 36. Attempting country AU regdomain ETSI still falls back to ROW. This appears to be an incomplete or incorrect AU regulatory-domain mapping, or a failure to apply a non-ROW regdomain for AU. ifconfig wlan0 list regdomain :regdomain ROW country AU anywhere -ecm Channel 1 : 2412 MHz 11b Channel 7 : 2442 MHz 11g ht/40- Channel 1 : 2412 MHz 11g Channel 8 : 2447 MHz 11b Channel 1 : 2412 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 8 : 2447 MHz 11g Channel 1 : 2412 MHz 11g ht/40+ Channel 8 : 2447 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 2 : 2417 MHz 11b Channel 8 : 2447 MHz 11g ht/40- Channel 2 : 2417 MHz 11g Channel 9 : 2452 MHz 11b Channel 2 : 2417 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 9 : 2452 MHz 11g Channel 2 : 2417 MHz 11g ht/40+ Channel 9 : 2452 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 3 : 2422 MHz 11b Channel 9 : 2452 MHz 11g ht/40- Channel 3 : 2422 MHz 11g Channel 10 : 2457 MHz 11b Channel 3 : 2422 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 10 : 2457 MHz 11g Channel 3 : 2422 MHz 11g ht/40+ Channel 10 : 2457 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 4 : 2427 MHz 11b Channel 10 : 2457 MHz 11g ht/40- Channel 4 : 2427 MHz 11g Channel 11 : 2462 MHz 11b Channel 4 : 2427 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 11 : 2462 MHz 11g Channel 4 : 2427 MHz 11g ht/40+ Channel 11 : 2462 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 5 : 2432 MHz 11b Channel 11 : 2462 MHz 11g ht/40- Channel 5 : 2432 MHz 11g Channel 149 : 5745* MHz 11a Channel 5 : 2432 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 149 : 5745* MHz 11a ht/20 Channel 5 : 2432 MHz 11g ht/40+ Channel 149 : 5745* MHz 11a ht/40+ Channel 5 : 2432 MHz 11g ht/40- Channel 153 : 5765* MHz 11a Channel 6 : 2437 MHz 11b Channel 153 : 5765* MHz 11a ht/20 Channel 6 : 2437 MHz 11g Channel 153 : 5765* MHz 11a ht/40- Channel 6 : 2437 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 157 : 5785* MHz 11a Channel 6 : 2437 MHz 11g ht/40+ Channel 157 : 5785* MHz 11a ht/20 Channel 6 : 2437 MHz 11g ht/40- Channel 157 : 5785* MHz 11a ht/40+ Channel 7 : 2442 MHz 11b Channel 161 : 5805* MHz 11a Channel 7 : 2442 MHz 11g Channel 161 : 5805* MHz 11a ht/20 Channel 7 : 2442 MHz 11g ht/20 Channel 161 : 5805* MHz 11a ht/40- Channel 7 : 2442 MHz 11g ht/40+
