Recently, it has been reported that D-Link DWA-582 cards, which use an RTL8812AE chip are not able to scan for 5G networks. The problems started with kernel 4.2, which is the first version that had commitd10101a603("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix problem with regulatory information"). With this patch, the driver went from setting a default channel plan to using the value derived from EEPROM. Bug reports at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111031 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279653 are examples of this problem. The problem was solved once I learned that the internal country code was resulting in a regulatory set with only 2.4 GHz channels. With the RTL8821AE chips available to me, the country code was such that both 2.4 and 5 GHz channels are allowed. The fix is to allow both bands even when the EEPROM is incorrectly encoded.
