Subject: [ANN] CRDA and wireless-regdb release
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2008 12:34:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081124203451.GB6245@tesla> (raw)

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.
