This option enables the old static regulatory information
and uses it within the new framework. This is available
temporarily as an option to help prevent immediate issues
due to the switch to the new regulatory framework which
does require a new userspace application which has the
database of regulatory information (CRDA) and another for
setting regulatory domains (iw).
and uses it within the new framework. This option is available
for historical reasons and it is advised to leave it off.
For more information see:
For details see:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory
It is important to note though that if you *do* have CRDA present
and if this option is enabled CRDA *will* be called to update the
regulatory domain (for US and JP only). Support for letting the user
set the regulatory domain through iw is also supported. This option
mainly exists to leave around for a kernel release some old static
regulatory domains that were defined and to keep around the old
ieee80211_regdom module parameter. This is being phased out and you
should stop using them ASAP.
Note: You will need CRDA if you want 802.11d support
Say Y unless you have installed a new userspace application.
Also say Y if have one currently depending on the ieee80211_regdom
module parameter and cannot port it to use the new userspace
interfaces.
Say N and if you say Y, please tell us why. The default is N.
