Control: reassign -1 wireless-regdb

don't really know/understand how/what/when crda did that could still

rule may still be useful. Looking into crda's package I found
/etc/default/crda with which you can set a default regulatory domain.
And in /lib/crda/setregdomain it uses that file/value to call
'iw reg set "<value>"'. The udev rule calls the crda binary btw, so I
don't know if 'setregdomain' is actually called.
This bug is basically to ensure that the useful part of crda doesn't get
lost. I'm assuming that the maintainers who'll read this bug can
determine if/what/how/where the useful part should be preserved.
Maybe the 'wireless-regdb' package is more appropriate, if so feel free
to reassign. And if nothing needs to be preserved, you can close it.
I filed it against the 'iw' package as I saw the 'iw reg set' call and
'wireless-regdb' doesn't (yet?) have a dependency on 'iw'.
Thanks for this detailed and informative bug report. I think the udev
rule belongs to wireless-regdb, as the rule isn't really useful without
the regulatory db, and I don't think we want to make iw Recommend
wireless-regdb. If wireless-regdb adopts the rule then it should at
least Recommend iw, which I think makes sense.
I'm reassigning this bug to wireless-regdb, but I'm open for further
discussion.
Cheers,
Paride
