[PATCH] ipw2200: print geography code upon module load
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Given the amount of support requests for the meaning of the geography code
I've written a patch for printing this information on module load no matter
the debug level.

I've also added a section to the README.ipw2200 file listing the geography
codes and their meaning.

1.5. Supported channels
-----------------------------------------------

Upon loading the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Driver for Linux, a
message stating the detected geography code and the number of 802.11
channels supported by the card will be displayed in the log.

The geography code corresponds to a regulatory domain as shown in the
table below.
