This removal was scheduled for 2.6.29 but we decided to
keep it around a bit longer. Now that we are on road to
2.6.30 lets remove it.

-What: old static regulatory information and ieee80211_regdom module parameter
-When: 2.6.29
-Why: The old regulatory infrastructure has been replaced with a new one
- which does not require statically defined regulatory domains. We do
- not want to keep static regulatory domains in the kernel due to the
- the dynamic nature of regulatory law and localization. We kept around
- the old static definitions for the regulatory domains of:
- * US
- * JP
- * EU
- and used by default the US when CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY was
- set. We also kept around the ieee80211_regdom module parameter in case
- some applications were relying on it. Changing regulatory domains
- can now be done instead by using nl80211, as is done with iw.

What: dev->power.power_state
When: July 2007
Why: Broken design for runtime control over driver power states, confusing

tristate "Improved wireless configuration API"
+ ---help---
+ cfg80211 is the new wireless driver framework. If you have a
+ modern wireless card you want to enable this option.
+
+ cfg80211's regulatory framework requires a userspace application
+ which has the database of regulatory information (CRDA). Setting
+ of regulatory domains can be done by drivers, or the wireless core
+ based on country information elements. Users can also use userspace
+ applications like iw or wpa_supplicant to help compliance further.

- ---help---
- This option enables the old static regulatory information
- and uses it within the new framework. This is available
- temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues
- due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which
- does require a new userspace application which has the
- database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for
- setting regulatory domains (iw).

- For more information see:
-
- http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
- http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
-
- It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present
- and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the
- regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user
- set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option
- mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static
- regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old
- ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you
- should stop using them ASAP.
-
- Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support
-
- Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application.
- Also say Y if have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom
- module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace
- interfaces.
