[PATCH 0/5] cfg80211: enhance world roaming

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series enhances world roaming through a few set of
enhancements. We world roam when OLD_REG is disabled and
CRDA _is_ installed and when we have had no regulatory
hint from anything yet (country IE, userspace, or driver).
If you lack CRDA and you also have OLD_REG you also world roam. 

We finish this work by defaulting OLD_REG to no due to these
new changes. At this point I'd even be inclined to simply remove
OLD_REG, your comments are greatly welcomed on this.

This patch series *should not* be applied yet as it breaks Intel's
iwlwifi drivers as noted in my recent e-mail about this [1]. Once that
is fixed this should be ready.

This series depends on the last one I just posted. If you'd like to
test you can get all the patches in one file in my home dir, it will
contain my 15 patches from my previous series and the patches from
this new series [2].
