With 2.6.28, the new wirless regulatory infrastructure is there. The above packages are in extra (libnl) or testing (iw, crda). If we want proper wireless support, we need these packages in core. It works like this:
- Install crda
- Uncomment the right country code in /etc/conf.d/wireless-regdom
- Add wireless-regdom to your rc.conf DAEMONS and run
/etc/rc.d/wireless-regdom start
The kernel will now know on which frequencies you are allowed to send. Without this, you should only be able to access a small number of channels.
The cfg80211_regdom kernel module option will be removed in 2.6.29 and should not be used anymore.
Theres packages for crda and libnl in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=14856 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21855 & iw in [community]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19012
Theres also http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21854 whose only reason of existance seemed to be crda.

Hm, that has been deleted. Should have been deleted for a while, as it is in extra.
Yeah, I saw that after I had already created my own PKGBUILD a few weeks ago.
& iw in [community]: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19012
I basically copied that PKGBUILD. We need it in core soon, so it can be dropped from community.

I decided to put the regdb into the crda package, so I can verify the integrity and validity of the database in the PKGBUILD, avoding distribution of corrupted files.
