+What:  old static regulatory information and ieee80211_regdom module parameter
+When:  2.6.29
+Why:   The old regulatory infrastructure has been replaced with a new one
+       which does not require statically defined regulatory domains. We do
+       not want to keep static regulatory domains in the kernel due to the
+       the dynamic nature of regulatory law and localization. We kept around
+       the old static definitions for the regulatory domains of:
+               * US
+               * JP
+               * EU
+       and used by default the US when CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY was
+       set. We also kept around the ieee80211_regdom module parameter in case
+       some applications were relying on it. Changing regulatory domains
+       can now be done instead by using nl80211, as is done with iw.
