| 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). |
| 37 | |
| 38 | For more information see: |
| 39 | |
| 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. Rodriguez | 3f2355c | 2008-11-12 14:22:02 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 52 | Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support |

| 56 | module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace |
| 57 | interfaces. |
