WiFi - Calling CRDA with no connection
« on: November 08, 2010, 02:51:46 PM »
cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain

LapTop has built-in LAN connector, plus a pcmcia WiFi card.
How do I remove the page of boot-errors generated when "Calling CRDA" using   the un-cabled LAN connection ?

you can use the boot code "quiet"

I don't want to hide the errors....
I wish to eliminate it,      i.e. fix it.
All its doing is wasting boot-time.

The change the network startup commands in bootlocal.sh to better fit your hardware.

Try boot parameter 'nodhcp' ?

bootlocal.sh contains 2 lines;  one starts eth0, the other wlan0.
What is there to change ?

Adding the boot parmeter nodhcp does not have any affect on "calling CRDA".

I did find that CRDA uses a country-code "CO" to somehow determine WiFi channel frequencies.
Makes no sense... call somebody to ask their phone number ???

If you want to change how wlan0 starts, then you would change wlan0.

A web search leads me to the conclusion that this output is hardware/driver specific.

http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/CountryCode
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath#Regulatory

I couldn't really understand where there would be any error or that there would be anything in need of being fixed.

BTW, thread is in wrong subforum, as TC Base does not support wifi.
