WiFi Channel 13 not possible on RasPi 3, regional settings doesn't help

1st Official Post

    I run LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.2.img on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. My local WiFi uses channel 13 (I am in Germany). Even when I change the regional settings according to my country only other wireless networks on channels <12 appear.

    Additional information:

    • Full hardware specs: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
    • The LibreELEC version you are running ('latest' is not a version number): 8.0.2
    • Tell us the complete steps how to face the issue, so we can try to reproduce: Tried to connect to a wireless network that uses channel 13.

    With kind regards

    Code
    echo "options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=DE" > /storage/.config/cfg80211.conf
reboot

    ^ that's required to see channels 12 and 13

    This is a work around for this bug but no fix. The intended behavior of LibreELEC should be taking regional settings into account for the WiFi.
