Public bug reported:
[Impact]
New upstream release. This is a database of wireless regulations, and
should updated in all releases to ensure users have the most up-to-date
regulatory information.
[Test Case]
Following reboot after installing the new database, it should be
possible to query and change the regulatory domain using 'iw reg get'
and 'iw reg set'.
[Where problems could occur]
If crda or the kernel is unable to use the new database, users may be
stuck using the default "world" regulatory domain which is quite
restrictive, therefore they may be unable to use wireless channels that
they were able to use previously. Regulatory rules may have also changed
for the user's region, which could also make some channels unusable, but
this would not be a bug.
