I don't see any reason either. Only all regulatory rule flags (nl80211_reg_rule_flags) happen to be "exported". Shall I add new field (e.g. internal_flags) to struct ieee80211_reg_rule and define new enum for it? > Then again, perhaps it *would* be good to show this information in > userspace? What do you mean by "show"? nl80211_put_regdom() already sends regdom flags to userspace. Or do you mean introducing a new channel attribute and send it in nl80211_msg_put_channel()? -Michal
