Hi Luis,
I'm working on making rt2x00 use the regulatory framework to report its
EEPROM region settings to mac80211, and I have stumbled upon an issue
that I don't really know how to solve with the current regulatory
framework code.
The problem I'm facing is that many of the Ralink devices have 2 region
settings in their EEPROM, one for 802.11a networks, and one for
802.11[bgn] networks. So far I have only seen devices where these two
settings contain the same region indication, but I don't know whether
this is the case for all devices.
At this point in time I use the regulatory_hint function at driver
start-up time to communicate the region setting that matches the
configured band, but that would (probably) not hold up when the user
reconfigures the mode.
So, at this point in time I have the following questions:
1. How would I be able to communicate both these settings to the
regulatory framework?
2. Should I re-use regulator_hint whenever the configured band changes?
3. Would a driver supplied region override a user configured setting
(via iw/crda)?
I would appreciate your help in solving this issue.
