look in your /lib/firmware/brcm directory 

 

root@bananapim2zero:/lib/firmware/brcm# ls brcmfmac43430*
 brcmfmac43430a0-sdio.bin                      brcmfmac43430-sdio.Hampoo-D2D3_Vi8A1.txt

Edit your corresponding driver .txt file (that can be brcmfmac43430-sdio.sinovoip,bpi-m2-zero.txt or brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt)

change the file with your texteditor :

ccode=ALL  TO  ccode=XY

save the file an reboot your system !

you should now CHANNEL 12-13 be available here in EU  🙂 ...
