[bug]: WiFi on RaspberryPi - Country selection doesn't stick and continually re-prompts about start-os

[dr-bonez]

Looks like raspberry pi requires this specific version of the package: http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/w/wireless-regdb/

^this might be related. I know we fixed a similar issue before with crda (and a command):

/usr/lib/embassy/scripts/chroot-and-upgrade
echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=US"  >  /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211.conf
apt update
apt install crda
exit

I noticed crda is missing from (what I presume is) the new version of that file:

After speaking with George, we decided it best for me to add the findings from testing the WiFi connectivity for my Dell Inspiron 15 3000 with 8GB RAM & 1 TB HDD (StartOS v0.3.5.1):

• After restarting the Dell laptop 3 times & running through the WiFi process twice per restart, it has now connected to wifi. However, the Country has switched to US -United States but is working.
• The Dell however doesn't stay in the loop as is the experience with the pi.
• Once I disconnect the Ethernet cable on the Dell the WiFi only works if the country is US. So could it be that the other codes just don't get enforced & are NULL?
• I select Namibia, after a few tries it has it saved with the Green Tick but then after I disconnect the ethernet cable the server is disconnected from the internet.

What I did then was plug the ethernet cable back in & it still showed that the wifi had the green tick. So I restarted the server, with the ethernet still plugged in, went back to wifi & saw the green tick, then disconnected the ethernet again & this time it stayed on Wifi.

That was when I realised the country had switched to US like in the screenshot, even though I'm in Namibia.

@BigBossRabbit are you on the nonfree iso?

Yes, I believe so. I've been running the machine strictly on WiFi since this test was done.
