I have a comment: > The company I work for has special regulatory approval to use amplified WLAN on certain channels (up to 4W). The nodes additionally have non-amplified WLAN adapters that fall under the normal regulatory requirements. It would be nice if your work allowed to specify such cases, e.g. have different regulatory restrictions for differen cards in the same machine. In our case we would like to restrict the amplified interface to the channels it is allowed to run on. Hm, interesting. Well you can simply use a custom db.txt with a custom PGP private key to sign it and also provide your customers with a custom CRDA which uses this. All you'd have to do is modify the keys and db.txt. This of course doesn't work to help comply if you have extra regulatory efforts on the drivers using the EEPROM of firmware so the next best thing would be to add a struct ieee80211_regdomain to each struct wiphy. I considered this too but this starts to move away from the centralized scheme. Its good you mention this case though. Can you elaborate a bit more on it. Why do you need two separate WLAN devices on one node where each one of them is using very different regulatory rules? Do they both use the same frequency ranges?
