+config WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY
+        bool "Old wireless static regulatory defintions"
+        default n
+        ---help---
+          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).
+
+          For more information see:
+
+          http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
+          http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
+
+          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.
+
+          Say N unless you cannot install a new userspace application
+          or have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom module
+          parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace interfaces.
+
+          This is scheduled for removal for 2.6.29.
