In that case, the data that's needed is ... what's already in the wireless-regdb file? You've got: * Country * Regulatory domain name (albeit only FCC, ETSI and JP), /which isn't actually used for anything!/ The details for each country are stored directly, there's no referring to the regulatory domains at all. * Frequencies and channel widths. * TX power (in db OR mW, if that needs to be normalised someone's going to have to supply me with a reference or a formula) * Flags. Once the data's parsed we can get a complete list of these. Is there anything else needed? And given that each country is a self-contained dataset, what do we need the regulatory domain name for beyond a label?
