Enable setting of Wi-Fi regulatory country

[martignoni]

Wi-Fi regulatory country is displayed in the plugin page, but can only be changed by editing file /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf.

Hi Nicolas,
I installed the new version of the plugin. I can change the country but I can't change the ssid and the channel.

I try to set the country from DE to FR, the ssid from MoodleBox to MoodleBox7 and the channel from 1 to 7. I can see the country in /etc/hostap/hostap.conf.

@ralf-krause: still in dev, but should be fixed now.

Hi Nicolas,
it works fine now. All settings are written into the /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf.

To get the new settings into the settings list on the top of the Moodle page the admin must reload the page. Would it be possible to reload the settings list automatically?

That is another issue. See #32.

Tested. Works correctly. Closing.

Reopening, as documentation is not updated yet.

Documentation done. Closing.

@ralf-krause: The current german translation of "Regulatory country" ("WLAN-Länderkennung") should be changed IMHO, as this concept is related to regulation/law, and not to identification.

Hi Nicolas,
yes I know that the country setting ist for the Regulation of rights. In US its Not allerdings to use channel 12 and 13. But in US it‘s allowed to use much higher transmitter power.
Nobody will say in Germany that je ist setting the „WLAN-Regulationsland“. Everybody should use „Germany“ he is in Germany and he should only use „United States of America“ when he is in the USA.
So everybody will know what we mean with „WLAN-Länderkennung“. And I want to get it easy. Perhaps it could be an idea to Write about the regulatory in the knowledge base.
