Certain wireless drivers (like the Broadcom FullMac drivers" expect the regulatory.db and
regulatory.db.p7s files to be available to be loadable from /lib/firmware. If not available
the driver still loads but runs on a minimal subset of channels.
This newly added option gives possibility to have those files copied to the necessary directory.

This is a good change but I think the commit message needs changing.
It's not really certain wireless drivers that is the issue, it's that
linux 4.15 added support to load regulatory.db directly without using
crda. If the kernel can't load regulatory.db directly it will still
try and use crda. So this change should allow you to stop using crda
for kernels after 4.15
Thanks

Hey Martin,
Oh I see, didn?t know it was a general change. Does that mean it would probably make more sense to only install the new files as a new package and deprecate the old one?

I think the changes look good, i was just saying to tweak the commit message.

Hey again,
Sorry for the lot of mails, I guess the last version is actually what you?re looking for. Feeling a bit stupid, but first time I?m working with this system over pull requests :(

My thinking was, since nobody seems to miss it, most drivers might not need it at all and it?s specific to the likes of Broadcom. To not change the current behavior I added the condition. Obviously I can remove it, if you prefer.

Hi Christoph,
Thank you for this patch. I have a few small remarks.

Since these two files only add up to 6KB, I don't think it's worthwhile to make
installing them conditional.

Certain wireless drivers (like the Broadcom FullMac drivers" expect the regulatory.db and
regulatory.db.p7s files to be available to be loadable from /lib/firmware. If not available
the driver still loads but runs on a minimal subset of channels.
This newly added option gives possibility to have those files copied to the necessary directory.
