Changes compared to 1.0.1-1: - Split crda into crda and wireless-regdb (as it is done by all other distros that already include it) The regdb will probably be updated more often than crda - If crda is installed, the integrity of the regdb is now verified on build and install time (if not, a warning is issued on build time, and nothing happens on install time) A warning is issued if the database is corrupted. - The file /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom moved from crda to wireless-regdb. If the user has already set the domain there, the .pacorig file overwrites the one from wireless-regdb. This is safe, as the only changes that may be in the stock file are newly added domains, which are commented - It is not necessary to add wireless-regdom to DAEMONS any more. As soon as cfg80211 is loaded, the regdom is set (if one is specified in /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom) This is not only more convenient, but also ensures the regdom is still set correctly after rmmod cfg80211; modprobe cfg80211
Please sign off. Note that with 2.6.29-ARCH and newer, you will only get access to the "World" regdom (channels 1-11, plus some 5GHz channels with passive scanning only) if you don't install crda and set your regdom. (With 2.6.28-ARCH and older, the "US" regdom was enabled by default, and you could set "EU" and "JP" domains with a module parameter)
Signoff procedure:1) If crda is already installed, wireless-regdb will issue a warning on installation if anything is corrupted. (You can also run regdbdump /usr/lib/crda/regulatory.bin manually, if that shows you a bunch of data instead of an error, all is fine). 2) After a you reboot, reload cfg80211 or "/etc/rc.d/wireless-regdb start", "iw list" should show you the proper channels. You will also see messages in your syslog if you change the regdom.
Pending issues: Updates for BN (missing two 5GHz bands) and KR, see http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/30811DE domains misses some 5GHz bands due to confusing documents from the Bundesnetzagentur:
