9 | What: old static regulatory information and ieee80211_regdom module parameter | ||
10 | When: 2.6.29 | ||
11 | Why: The old regulatory infrastructure has been replaced with a new one | ||
12 | which does not require statically defined regulatory domains. We do | ||
13 | not want to keep static regulatory domains in the kernel due to the | ||
14 | the dynamic nature of regulatory law and localization. We kept around | ||
15 | the old static definitions for the regulatory domains of: | ||
16 | * US | ||
17 | * JP | ||
18 | * EU | ||
19 | and used by default the US when CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY was | ||
20 | set. We also kept around the ieee80211_regdom module parameter in case | ||
21 | some applications were relying on it. Changing regulatory domains | ||
22 | can now be done instead by using nl80211, as is done with iw. | ||
