Does the file exist in /lib/firmware?
How did you get the 4.15 kernel? Did you compile on your own (there might be a missing config option) or you installed from your distribution? |

This started for me Jan 29 16:21:04, after I upgraded to kernel 4.15 ; /usr/src/linux/net/wireless/reg.c has the code that reports it. |
Anyone know much about this?
I compiled many of the 4.15x kernels in Slackware and I see the same thing. I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing a system package, or compile option, or if this is a bug? Thanks |

So I'm assuming you're talking about the version crda-3.18-x86_64-5 from 'Current'? |

You can download the current package, extract those 2 files (which don't exist in previous versions), put them in /lib/firmware. I think that current is stable. You may want to ask in the Slackware forum. I update to current daily, rarely had a problem, then only minor. |

I upgraded with crda-3.18-x86_64-6, which is now the 'current' version and it works! WoOT THANKS RandomTroll :) |
