There should be a way to have a certain device restrict that even
further, if the driver wants to allow operation only in a domain that
the device has been certified for (because it may malfunction otherwise,
for example).
Sure good idea -- we can provide a device specific regulatory domain
if necessary. We can easily introduce a device_regdomains linked list
on the ieee80211_conf which if not empty the driver will use it, else
the stack regdomain is used. The ieee80211_regdomains module already
provides the interfaces for the manipulation of such list. Pretty easy
fix, fortunately.
I'll probably have more comments later, really tired now though.
Great, thanks.
Luis
