This is a bit more broken given that DFS CAC patches are upstream but we haven't yet even provided the removal of antenna gain on the awk script but for some reason it did add the DFS CAC parsing to the awk script, so upstream has the awk DFS CAC parser options, we don't yet even use it, and the antenna gain wasn't removed. I'll work on that patch but parsing things in awk is getting a bit hairy for the conditionals. We can use the C parser now that we have on but the DFS CAC stuf was not yet ironed out for CRDA and wireless-regdb... Luis
