It turns out most device vendors don't set the correct country code in their devices' on-flash-EEPROM sections as they apparently rather provide a complete per-target-market firmware with patched drivers instead of just setting the country code. This results in the driver to incorrectly assume the value stored in the on-flash-EERPOM (usually US or China) being the regulatory domain inside which the device is being used. To work around this issue, OpenWrt introduced the ATH_USER_REGD config variable to decide during build whether or not to allow the user to override the regulatory domain setting. This option, however, is not enabled by default and thus ends up being disabled for snapshots builds and released binaries. As we know for a long time that most devices got borked regulatory domain values set in their EEPROMs we should allow our users to respect their local law (instead of just assume US or China laws). Note that also the current default has great potential of users not ever setting their regulatory domain and thus using inapproriate and potentially illegal frequencies and/or tx-power settings Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org> |

This is the buildsystem for the LEDE Linux distribution. Please use "make menuconfig" to choose your preferred configuration for the toolchain and firmware. You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make, find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers. Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into package/feeds/. Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image. Simply running "make" will build your firmware. It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, the kernel and all choosen applications. To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system. Sunshine! Your LEDE Community http://www.lede-project.org
