Quoting "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxx>:
I've been trying to avoid string.h on crda.c, granted it only
increases the final crda binary by about 30 bytes, but do we really
need it? In fact it'd be nice to further trim crda further to save
even more space. Thoughts?
OK, maybe we don't need this patch if CDRA works correctly. I'm
having bad luck with it.
First of all, I cannot generate regulatory.bin that crda would accept.
[proski@dv wireless-regdb]$ make
./db2bin.py regulatory.bin db.txt key.priv.pem
openssl rsa -in key.priv.pem -out key.pub.pem -pubout -outform PEM
writing RSA key
[proski@dv crda]$ make
GEN keys-gcrypt.c
CC reglib.o
CC crda.o
LD crda
CC intersect.o
CC print-regdom.o
LD intersect
CC regdbdump.o
LD regdbdump
CHK /home/proski/src/wireless-regdb/regulatory.bin
Database signature verification failed.
make: *** [verify] Error 234
wireless-regdb and crda are current from git. The system is Fedora
10, x86_64 with a custom kernel.
Only regulatory.bin from wireless-regdb-master is OK. It is indeed different.
[proski@dv wireless-regdb]$ cmp -b regulatory.bin /usr/lib/crda/regulatory.bin
regulatory.bin /usr/lib/crda/regulatory.bin differ: byte 2685, line 3
is 36 ^^ 130 X
Once I install the working regulatory.bin, I can compile crda. It
appears that crda needs COUNTRY in the environment, but it's not
documented anywhere and there is no sample file whre to set it. I
tried adding "export COUNTRY=US" to /etc/sysconfig/i18n, and it
appears in the environment when logged in on the console. However,
crda doesn't apprear to see it:
[ 0.720023] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
[ 0.720065] cfg80211: calling CRDA failed - unable to update world
regulatory domain, using static definition
Not only did it try to set the world domain, it failed at that.
However, running crda on the command line is successful:
COUNTRY=00 crda
From the kernel log:
[ 3579.145902] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated:
[ 3579.145905] (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth),
(max_antenna_gain, max_eirp)
[ 3579.145907] (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (600 mBi, 2000 mBm)
But setting any specific country fails:
[root@ct crda]# COUNTRY=US crda
Failed to set regulatory domain: -22
[root@ct crda]# COUNTRY=DE crda
Failed to set regulatory domain: -22
[root@ct crda]# COUNTRY=RU crda
Failed to set regulatory domain: -22
[root@ct crda]# COUNTRY=QW crda
No country match in regulatory database.
[root@ct crda]#
-22 is -EINVAL, "invalid argument".
At this point I want that crda at least gives me errors in a readable
form. But maybe I want too little :-)
The kernel is current from wireless-testing.git.
CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY is disabled. CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_DEBUG
is disabled (I guess I'll try enabling it now). CONFIG_CFG80211 is
enabled. mac80211 is compiled into the kernel. The only modules are
wireless drivers (b43, hostap, rt61).
