Using CRDA in combination with MDEV
Has anyone here ever got "crda" to work with mdev (instead of udev)?
I was getting this message again from the wireless card:
cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
Now CRDA is the answer to that, and until now, I solved it by simply compiling a static rules database into my kernel. Which is apparently frowned upon, so I went looking for a more generally accepted solution.
I noticed there's a "crda" package in OE, but it RDEPENDS on udev for no other reason than simply because it provides a rules file for that. And I want to keep using mdev.
I think it would be better to split this package, and have a "crda-udev" package that provides the rules file and the dependency on udev. Alternative is to have a PACKAGECONFIG to enable udev support.
Kind regards,

I think the PACKAGECONFIG option would cause fewer surprises (perhaps?). Otherwise anyone currently using the crda package with udev will now have to change a previously-working build (to add the new crda-udev package) so it can continue working. Is it possible to have the crda-udev package automatically selected if udev is a distro feature and the crda package is part of the image?
