We can use the C parser now that we have on but the DFS > CAC stuf was not yet ironed out for CRDA and wireless-regdb... I wrote that awk script years ago so that we could get rid of the old hard-coded rulesets and so I could have something working in RHEL5. I never merged the DFS CAC stuff in wireless-regdb, because of the unresolved issue of supporting multiple formats. It looks to me like the dfs_cac stuff in genregdb.awk is broken, since it doesn't seem to account for flags. I sent a patch that should account for the antenna gain issue. Please give it a review. Obviously, we need to talk more about this in Chicago if not before... John -- John W. Linville Someday the world will need a hero, and you linville@xxxxxxxxxxxxx might be all we have.
