Hello All,

I trying to configure my intel wireless card but it failed with error below in dmesg :

Code:
1.888607] Loading firmware: regulatory.db
[    1.888999] platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2
[    1.889350] cfg80211: failed to load regulatory.db
[    1.894557] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 24576k


The database regulatory.db exist.

In my kernel I set :

Code:
CONFIG_CFG80211=y
# CONFIG_NL80211_TESTMODE is not set
# CONFIG_CFG80211_DEVELOPER_WARNINGS is not set
CONFIG_CFG80211_REQUIRE_SIGNED_REGDB=y
CONFIG_CFG80211_USE_KERNEL_REGDB_KEYS=y
CONFIG_CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS=y
# CONFIG_CFG80211_DEBUGFS is not set
CONFIG_CFG80211_CRDA_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y
CONFIG_MAC80211=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_HAS_RC=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_MINSTREL=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT="minstrel_ht"
# CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not set


The service wpa_supplicant works fine.

Please any help will be welcome.
