| 21 | This option enables the old static regulatory information |
| 22 | and uses it within the new framework. This is available |
| 23 | temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues |
| 24 | due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which |
| 25 | does require a new userspace application which has the |
| 26 | database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for |
| 27 | setting regulatory domains (iw). |
| 28 | |
| 29 | For more information see: |
| 30 | |
| 31 | http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA |
| 32 | http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw |
| 33 | |
| 34 | It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present |
| 35 | and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the |
| 36 | regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user |
| 37 | set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option |
| 38 | mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static |
| 39 | regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old |
| 40 | ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you |
| 41 | should stop using them ASAP. |
| 42 | |
Arjan van de Ven | 44a504c4 | 2008-10-26 10:25:30 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 43 | Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application. |
