30 This option enables the old static regulatory information
31 and uses it within the new framework. This is available
32 temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues
33 due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which
34 does require a new userspace application which has the
35 database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for
36 setting regulatory domains (iw).

38 For more information see:

40 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
41 http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
42
43 It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present
44 and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the
45 regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user
46 set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option
47 mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static
48 regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old
49 ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you
50 should stop using them ASAP.
51
Luis R. Rodriguez3f2355c2008-11-12 14:22:02 -080052 Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support
53
Arjan van de Ven44a504c42008-10-26 10:25:30 -070054 Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application.
55 Also say Y if have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom
56 module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace
57 interfaces.

66 Wireless extensions will be replaced by cfg80211 and
67 will be required only by legacy drivers that implement
Johannes Berg55682962007-09-20 13:09:35 -040068 wireless extension handlers. This option does not
69 affect the wireless-extension backward compatibility
70 code in cfg80211.

72 Say N (if you can) unless you know you need wireless
73 extensions for external modules.
