Issue description

The following setting is applied in the /userdata/system/batocera.conf file: "wifi.country=RU". And I set up the connection to the access point through the UI.

As a result, the WI-FI connection does not work.

Without changing "wifi.country", the connection to my access point does not work either.

In dmesg, such messages are:
[ 119.520547] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_cfg80211_reg_notifier: Firmware rejected country setting
[ 123.038692] brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0x100c fail, reason -52
[ 123.039116] brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0x100d fail, reason -52
[ 123.039399] brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0xd022 fail, reason -52

Detailed reproduction steps

In my case, the Wi-Fi connection doesn't work at all.

Details of any attempts to fix this yourself

To solve the problem, I replaced the Device Tree and Firmware files. I took them from "2024-11-19-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img":

1. /boot/bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb
2. /lib/firmware/brcm/*
3. /lib/firmware/cypress/*
4. /lib/firmware/synaptics/*

Details of any modifications you have made to Batocera.

I will add that WPA3 is used.

[dmanlfc]

this is a known firmware limitation with rpi's currently. v41 unfortunately does not fix it.
it will be the cypress firmware, can you pinpoint which file we need to look at updating?

@dmanlfc I also replaced the Device Tree. Without this, "wifi.country" does not apply.

[dmanlfc]

@rseleven what is the kernel version for rpios?

[rseleven]

Linux raspberrypi 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.51-1+rpt3 (2024-10-08) aarch64 GNU/Linux

[dmanlfc]

@rseleven the firmware & dtb change has no effect with wpa3 access points here unfortunately.
