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.
