With 2.6.28, the new wirless regulatory infrastructure is there. The
above packages are in extra (libnl) or testing (iw, crda). If we want
proper wireless support, we need these packages in core. It works like
this:
- Install crda
- Uncomment the right country code in /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom
- Add wireless-regdom to your rc.conf DAEMONS and run
/etc/rc.d/wireless-regdom start
The kernel will now know on which frequencies you are allowed to send.
Without this, you should only be able to access a small number of
channels.
The cfg80211_regdom kernel module option will be removed in 2.6.29 and
should not be used anymore.
All good here. Signoff x86_64.
