Kind of like multi-band cell phones. =20 This isn't that big of a deal in the 2.4GHz band, but when you start talking about 5GHz, especially in France, things get a lot trickier. Of course, all of this automagic "just work" crap only affects the STAs.=20 For AP operation, we have to trust the user to set the correct locale -- I don't see any way of including a sane "just-works" default in the stock kernel.org tree, so I think the default should be be "none". This way the user is forced to explicitly set the regdomain in order for the AP startup to succeed. =2E..and pray that the AP isn't migrating to a different regdomain, but=20 there's really nothing anyone can do about that. - Solomon --=20 Solomon Peachy ICQ: 1318344 Melbourne, FL =20 Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. --eAbsdosE1cNLO4uF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDzTpKPuLgii2759ARAgO4AJ9CD7o+BR/IqBN8UhpANGQBstW2sACggIUA vTd3Ct+uIXzCoaTrMycNhAw= =oR+o -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --eAbsdosE1cNLO4uF-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
