So this could consist probably of adding one more environment variable
to the passed COUNTRY one that the kernel passes before calling crda,
a group I guess, andif the group is passed the crda can read
/path/grop-regulatory.bin where group could be ATHR for example.
BTW -- the region codes are already present on db.txt -- so the only
thing that group thing could do is allow us to move the 12 regulatory
domains to userspace and I'm not sure if this is someone's time,
specially since I managed to squeeze the 12 world regulatory domains
to 5 structures, the slight modifications between a few are handled
internally on ath.ko through the reg notifier, see:
static void ath_reg_apply_world_flags(struct wiphy *wiphy,
enum nl80211_reg_initiator initiator,
struct ath_regulatory *reg)
{
switch (reg->regpair->regDmnEnum) {
case 0x60:
case 0x63:
case 0x66:
case 0x67:
ath_reg_apply_beaconing_flags(wiphy, initiator);
break;
case 0x68:
ath_reg_apply_beaconing_flags(wiphy, initiator);
ath_reg_apply_active_scan_flags(wiphy, initiator);
break;
}
return;
}
