[wireless-regdb] differing world regulary domain (linux kernel builtin vs. crda)

[Ronald Wahl]

Hi,

on "Thu May 16 17:06:52 EDT 2013" Johannes Berg posted a message on that 
list with the subject "[PATCH] regulatory: enable channels 52-64 and 
100-144 for world roaming" which has been later applied to the kernel 
but not in the official regdb. Now the sitiuation is this that the 
built-in world regulatory domain has a greater frequency range than the 
world regulatory domain installed by crda (albeit for passive scanning 
only). Unfortunately the built-in is not used when crda is installed. 
I'm very much interested in getting this change into the official regdb 
as it allows finding and accessing wireless networks with unprovisioned 
wireless devices that are otherwise not detected. Is there any reason 
why the additional channels cannot be added for regdomain 00 in the 
official regdb?

thx,
ron
