+         This option turns on the new netlink interface
+         (nl80211) support in cfg80211.
+
+         If =n, drivers using mac80211 will be configured via

+config WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY

+       default y
+       ---help---
+         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).
+
+         For more information see:
+
+         http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
+         http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
+
+         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.
+
+         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.
