Luis,

what does your secretary say?
As we are "borrowing" dual licensed code and I guess Atheros wants
to keep their code "this way", right?

why do you put that in a different file and not in ath.c?

Actually a new file makes sense -- we might later add more stuff other
than regulatory. That is the idea.

which ath.c?

besides, is this possible?
as kbuild will then generate two ath.o
- one from ath.c.
- when all ath-objs are merged into ath.o
  so we end up reading & writing to the same file?!
