From 6bad8766620a3c8b64afa981502fdb543e3cfd6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2009 14:08:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: send regulatory beacon hint events to userspace This informs userspace when a change has occured on a world roaming wiphy's channel which has lifted some restrictions due to a regulatory beacon hint. Because this is now sent to userspace through the regulatory multicast group we remove the debug prints we used to use as they are no longer necessary. Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Luis R.
