I took a shot at implementing custom regulatory domain support for
brcmsmac. I've got it working to the point of letting me see APs on the
DFS channels at least. The patch is below. A number of issues
undoubtedly remain to be resolved. Some that I can think of:
- I set up two custom domains, X0 and X2, which are identical. I'm not
sure precisely how each needs to be set up, but I took a reasonable
guess.
- I tried to integrate with the existing X2 domain support, but this
could probably be improved. I avoided making large changes because
there's some complexity in the current code that doesn't seem to
serve a purpose currently, but I assume it's there for a reason.
- The flow of the initialization and organization of the code make it
necessary to search through the list of custom regulatory domains
many times. It would be nice to improve upon this.
Does this look to be on the right track?
Thanks,
Seth
