wireless-regdb for Debian
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
wireless-regdb provides a machine-readable database of legal
|
|
regulations on radio emissions that affect use of wireless networking.
|
|
The Linux kernel and drivers use this to maintain compliance with
|
|
those regulations.
|
|
|
|
The database may be loaded by either crda (in the crda package) or by
|
|
the kernel. Kernel loading was implemented in Linux 4.15, but only
|
|
enabled in the Debian package from 5.5 onward.
|
|
|
|
If you use a custom kernel built from upstream source, it will only
|
|
trust this database if it is signed by the upstream maintainer of
|
|
wireless-regdb. To use the upstream database and signature instead of
|
|
the Debian version, run:
|
|
|
|
update-alternatives --set regulatory.db \
|
|
/lib/firmware/regulatory.db-upstream
