Raspberrypi 4B wireless driver load regulatory.db error caused 5GHz can't be connect

Asked by Wentao Wu

Hi

I'm newbie in Raspberrypi model 4B and Ubuntu 19.10
my Raspberrypi 4B is running with Ubuntu 19.10: ubuntu-19.10-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi3.img.xz
when I enable my wireless to connect my 5GHz wireless AP, it can show or connect to it anymore, just 2.4Ghz can works.

checked with dmesg info, found failed to load regulatory.db error log:

after searched google, the solution is manual download wireless-regdb from
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/network/wireless-regdb/
unzip it and copy regulatory.db regulatory.db.p7s to /lib/firmware/

reboot boxes, no any error log and 5Ghz can works for wireless.
I'm not sure it's a BUG or configuration issue, as I'm not familar with wireless-regdb configuration.
current dmesg log as below:

My question is :
1. who can help to confirm it's a bug or configuration issue?

2. how to set the country code for Raspberrypi 4B with ubuntu19.10?

as Ubuntu 19.10 using netplan to setup network, I'm also using this yaml config to connect my wlan0 to AP, but not found any option to enable it.

Thanks
Wentao
