Statically compiled regulatory database
---------------------------------------
-In most situations the userland solution using CRDA as described
-above is the preferred solution. However in some cases a set of
-rules built into the kernel itself may be desirable. To account
-for this situation, a configuration option has been provided
-(i.e. CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB). With this option enabled,
-the wireless database information contained in net/wireless/db.txt is
-used to generate a data structure encoded in net/wireless/regdb.c.
-That option also enables code in net/wireless/reg.c which queries
-the data in regdb.c as an alternative to using CRDA.
-
-The file net/wireless/db.txt should be kept up-to-date with the db.txt
-file available in the git repository here:
-
- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sforshee/wireless-regdb.git
-
-Again, most users in most situations should be using the CRDA package
-provided with their distribution, and in most other situations users
-should be building and using CRDA on their own rather than using
-this option. If you are not absolutely sure that you should be using
-CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB then _DO_NOT_USE_IT_.
+When a database should be fixed into the kernel, it can be provided as a
+firmware file at build time that is then linked into the kernel.

- This option generates an internal data structure representing
- the wireless regulatory rules described in net/wireless/db.txt
- and includes code to query that database. This is an alternative
- to using CRDA for defining regulatory rules for the kernel.
-
- Using this option requires some parsing of the db.txt at build time,
- the parser will be upkept with the latest wireless-regdb updates but
- older wireless-regdb formats will be ignored. The parser may later
- be replaced to avoid issues with conflicts on versions of
- wireless-regdb.
