<title>Setting the Correct Region</title>
<para>Since the regulatory situation is different
in various parts of the world, it is necessary to
correctly set the domains that apply to your location to
have the correct information about what channels can be
used.</para>
<para>The available region definitions can be found in
<filename>/etc/regdomain.xml</filename>. To set the data at
runtime, use <command>ifconfig</command>:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ifconfig <replaceable>wlan0</replaceable> regdomain <replaceable>ETSI</replaceable> country <replaceable>AT</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>To persist the settings, add it to
<filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>sysrc create_args_wlan0="country <replaceable>AT</replaceable> regdomain <replaceable>ETSI</replaceable>"</userinput></screen>
