The mwlwifi driver sets the default country code for EU (fi-
rmware region code 0x30) certified devices to FR (France),
not DE (Germany). Whilst this is a trivial fix, novice users
may not know how mwlwifi negatively reacts to a non-matching
country code and may leave the setting alone. Especially si-
nce it is under the advanced settings section in LuCI.
Relevant mwlwifi driver code:
0a550312dd
The mwlwifi driver readme states "Please don't change country
code and let mwlwifi set it for you." However, OpenWrt's current
behaviour does not adhere to this with its default, 'just flashed
from factory' setting for EU devices.
