[wireless-regdb] French regulatory domain change request

[Xose Vazquez Perez]

hi Jean-Pierre,

> The current description for France in regdb.txt is :
> country FR: DFS-ETSI
> 	(2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
> 	(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20)
> 	(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS
> 	(5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS
> 	# 60 gHz band channels 1-4, ref: Etsi En 302 567
> 	(57240 - 65880 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), NO-OUTDOOR
>

> " Décision n° 2008-0568" issued by the ARCEP (French Electronic
> communications and Postoffice Regulation Authority) in the year 2008,
> 1) the frequencies 5150-5350 MHz are limited to INDOOR use.
>  (see page 5: "Dans la bande de fréquences*5150-5350* MHz, les WAS/RLAN sont
> limités à une *utilisation intérieure* ...")
> 2) the limits of the frequency band is ~20MHz greater for all frequency
> values (5150 vs. 5170, 5350 vs. 5330, 5470 vs. 5490, 5725 vs. 5710)

> So IMHO the description for France should read: 
> country FR: DFS-ETSI

> 	(5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20), NO-OUTDOOR
> 	(5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 20), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS
> 	(5470 - 5725 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS
> 	# 60 gHz band channels 1-4, ref: Etsi En 302 567
> 	(57240 - 65880 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), NO-OUTDOOR
> By the way, this looks very like the description for Germany (DE)

You are right, but a patch is missing ;-)

BTW. It should be fixed for all, or nearly all, ETSI countries.
