ogra_rtg, i rememebr we used to have a discussion about crda in the ubuntu-core snap/rootfs ... which resulted in me removing it there ... do you remember the reason ? 13:16
ogra_(i'm just doing a seed cleanup and the package came back ... )13:17
ogra_apparently wlan workks without it on the pi3 and dragonboard ... 13:17
apwogra_, is that safe ?  given that gives you information about what is legal in your juristiction ?13:18
rtgogra_, well, crda is only required if the device has non-firmware based wifi. sforshee is probably a lot fresher on the topic these days.13:18
ogra_apw, i dont know ... happy to keep it ... but irc there was a reason why we dropped it 13:18
ogra_seemingly my two boards that have onboard wlan worked before it came back 13:19
ogra_it doesnt seem to make a difference in functionallity 13:20
apwogra_, you are in a location with quite a wide set of frequencies ... dunno ... i don't recall the original discussion so ...13:20
ogra_if it makes sense to have it i'll happily keep it ... if it is just unused ballast it doesnt mmake sense though 13:21
rtgogra_, it is certainly in use for those wifi adapters where the protocol stack runs on the host CPU13:23
rtgwireless-regdb is still getting patches and being maintained by sforshee13:23
ogra_like intel ?13:23
rtgoglike intel13:23
rtgogra_, ^^13:23
ogra_ok13:23
ogra_that makes snese then 13:23
ogra_enough for me to keep it 13:23
ogra_(i guess the NUC guys will actually like to have it available then :))13:24
trippeh_the firmware-based ones I've seen also uses crda and wireless-regdb by intersecting the OS provided tables and the firmware ones.13:37
trippeh_I guess so it is possible to introduce new restrictions without a fw update.13:37
trippeh_at least ath9k does this13:38
