Is there any progress on this? Now that debian begins stabilizing bookworm
release, there is no setregdomain mechanism included.

Fedora has a nice udev script which - if no country is set explicitly - sets
the regulatory domain from the configured time zone:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/wireless-regdb/blob/rawhide/f/setregdomain

If there should not be a hard dependency on iw, this might need a separate check
or a warning...

Best regards,
Georg
