9 | What: old static regulatory information and ieee80211_regdom module parameter | 9 | What: The ieee80211_regdom module parameter |
10 | When: 2.6.29 | 10 | When: March 2010 / desktop catchup |
11 | |||
12 | Why: This was inherited by the CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY code, | ||
13 | and currently serves as an option for users to define an | ||
14 | ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 code for the country they are currently | ||
15 | present in. Although there are userspace API replacements for this | ||
16 | through nl80211 distributions haven't yet caught up with implementing | ||
17 | decent alternatives through standard GUIs. Although available as an | ||
18 | option through iw or wpa_supplicant its just a matter of time before | ||
19 | distributions pick up good GUI options for this. The ideal solution | ||
20 | would actually consist of intelligent designs which would do this for | ||
21 | the user automatically even when travelling through different countries. | ||
22 | Until then we leave this module parameter as a compromise. | ||
23 | |||
24 | When userspace improves with reasonable widely-available alternatives for | ||
25 | this we will no longer need this module parameter. This entry hopes that | ||
26 | by the super-futuristically looking date of "March 2010" we will have | ||
27 | such replacements widely available. | ||
