Because in [1] Jouni said that "kernel config option + custom regdb would certainly be much closer to what I'd like to see from the regulatory enforcement view point" I also like the fact that the help text mentions the relevant regulatory documents. I guess the users would appreciate that. -Michal [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg13795.html ___ ath9k-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
[ath9k-devel] [PATCH v2 7/8] cfg80211: Add Kconfig option for ITS-G5 band (5.9 GHz)
This option is meant for use by drivers and other subsystems to enable support for the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS-G5) band. The option depends on CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS as the use of this band is restricted. EU allows using it only for certain applications, USA require certification.

In any case, I spoke with him yesterday and we don't think that your patches are going to work as is - we'll need to change the regulatory flags it seems.

Why do we need this now? I see that you're checking it in ath9k, to enable the "ITSG5" channels, but why wouldn't you always do that, now that you have the extra checks with the user regdb being required and all? johannes ___ ath9k-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
