Bug#1003903: RM: crda -- ROM; obsolete due to kernel changes
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-kernel@lists.debian.org
crda is used to load the data from wireless-regdb into the Linux
kernel. Linux 4.15 implemented direct loading of the data by the
kernel, and this is not an optional feature (whereas continued support
for crda is). In our linux package we deferred that change until 5.5
as it required changes to data signing in wireless-regdb.
Since bullseye released with Linux 5.10, I think we can expect that
bookworm/unstable users will have at least that kernel version and
will no longer need crda.
Ben.
