====== Raspberry Wi-Fi disabled country not set ======

When you connect to the Raspberry Pi via terminal session you can get the following warning message:

<code>
Wi-Fi is disabled because the country is not set.
Use raspi-config to set the country before use.
</code>

Running **raspi-config** may not fix the problem.

The warning message is originated by the script **/etc/profile.d/wifi-country.sh** which uses the following command to check if WiFi has the country set:

<code>
/sbin/iw reg get
</code>

The execution of **raspi-config**, //Localisation Options// => //Change Wi-fi Country// should change the file **/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf**, but such a change is possibile only if you already have the following lines in that file:

<file>
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
</file>

The **update_config** option allow **wpa_cli** to change the configuration file, and thus **raspi-config**. The change consists just in adding a line like this:

<file>
country=IT
</file>

Reboot or restart the wpa_supplicant daemon to make the changes effective.
