What: CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY - old static regulatory information
|

When: March 2010 / desktop catchup
|

|

Why: The old regulatory infrastructure has been replaced with a new one
|
||||
which does not require statically defined regulatory domains. We do
|
||||
not want to keep static regulatory domains in the kernel due to the
|
||||
the dynamic nature of regulatory law and localization. We kept around
|
||||
the old static definitions for the regulatory domains of:
|
||||
|
||||
* US
|
||||
* JP
|
||||
* EU
|
||||
|
||||
and used by default the US when CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY was
|
||||
set.
|
||||
set. We will remove this option once the standard Linux desktop catches
|
||||
up with the new userspace APIs we have implemented.

|

This option enables the old static regulatory information
|
||||
and uses it within the new framework. This is available
|
||||
temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues
|
||||
due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which
|
||||
does require a new userspace application which has the
|
||||
database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for
|
||||
setting regulatory domains (iw).
|
||||
and uses it within the new framework. This option is available
|
||||
for historical reasons and it is advised to leave it off.

|

It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present
|
||||
and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the
|
||||
regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user
|
||||
set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option
|
||||
mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static
|
||||
regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old
|
||||
ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you
|
||||
should stop using them ASAP.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support
|
||||
|
||||
Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application.
|
||||
Also say Y if have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom
|
||||
module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace
|
||||
interfaces.
|
||||
Say N and if you say Y, please tell us why. The default is N.
