I can't say I particularly care about France, but even from the wikipedia page you linked previously it is rather clear that we cannot define a "EU" regulatory domain because Spain and France are in the EU yet have not adopted the "European" regulatory requirements.
That makes it all very difficult, I think that an EU domain is OK provided that there is also a Spanish domain. Or maybe the EU domain should actually be named ETSI (which was my original preference, it was John Linville that said EU hence why I used it).
I'll have to see if I can work out what the allowable domains are for the Ralink RT2500 drivers, under Windows for instance. I know that are are considerable number of choices, certainly more than US/EU/JP. That might provide a good clue.
I'm beginning to wonder if anyone has this correct in their shipping products, especially from a power point of view. The regulatory stuff is supposed to be prevented from manipulation by the user, but if I were in the US and I entered "JP" for the regdom, then I can break the regs with nothing to stop me anyway. You couldn't operate with a worldwide lowest common denominator approach, it would be the equivalent of turning the wireless hardware off!
Does anyone know how the EEPROM contents are supposed to work for the Intel hardware? How they are queried and compared with kernel and userspace programs?
