This patch adds a wireless configfs module. Currently we only add
support for changing the central regulatory domain. The idea is not to
replace nl80211 interface but to supplement it and also to give home
for a place for configuring wireless kobjects. We can move add_interface /
remove_interface from sysfs to configfs, for example.
Example usage of using wireles configfs:
mkdir /config/
modprobe configfs_wireless
mount -t configfs none /config
echo US > /config/wireless/country
dmesg -c
You will see:
