| |
We have official releases now of wireless regulatory database and of CRDA. Our latest is:
* wireless-regdb-master-2008-11-17 * crda-0.9.4
You can find both here:
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/wireless-regdb/ http://wireless.kernel.org/download/crda/
The usage of crda + regdb has allowed us to move regulatory restrictions out from drivers in the kernel out to userspace. You can use CRDA + regdb on kernels > 2.6.28 (or anyone using compat-wireless). CRDA and the wireless-regdb are intended to be provided as separate packages so regulatory rule updates can be provided without having to update the crda binary.
When packaging/building keep in mind you'll only need the regulatory.bin from wireless-regdb. The crda binary is just a udev helper, distributions are expected to install the provided regulatory.rules file. Users wishing to read the installed database can use:
regdbdump /path/regulatory.bin
Users/developers wishing to patch the regulatory database can send patches against John's wireless-regdb tree:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-regdb.git
These are automated releases based on new git tags but we will send out e-mails when we have new releases.
