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 is loaded directly by the kernel.  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
