I fail to see how a binary-only daemon can be used to enforce regulatory limits. What stops a user from running a daemon for another country, enforcing different limits? -- Dick Streefland //// Altium BV dick.streefland@altium.nl (@ @) http://www.altium.com --------------------------------oOO--(_)--OOo--------------------------- - 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/
