net-wireless/wireless-regdb: make crda optional Linux has now supported loading regulatory information without CRDA since kernel 4.15. After significant discussion negril, sam, and I have agreed upon a set of checks to ensure users are getting working regulatory information with or without crda, and have made crda optional. All packages that can cause radio emission must depend directly on wireless-regdb.
