What is the purpose of the "intersect" program in CRDA? It builds but it
doesn't seem to be used anywhere. I also notice the CRDA source has its
own nl80211.h header file, as does the source tree for "iw". Shouldn't
userspace tools just include the sanitized kernel header from the
standard gcc include-file locations? Having multiple copies (and
versions) of nl80211.h everywhere seems like a bad idea.

Will CRDA work with AP mode? That's where my primary interest lies (I'm
writing a new driver for an as-yet unsupported chipset). I can see the
usefulness of CRDA in a laptop. I have a much harder time seeing the
benefit of a 250K application to process 3,000 bytes of data
(regulatory.bin) in an embedded AP context where filesystem space is at
a premium.
