From the makefile it looked like you could run make regdbdump. When I tried that I had an error but also it became clear it needed to have the python2 M2crypto in place to do it, which we obviously don't want to do. A separate makefile could be made just to build regdbdump using a different crypto program that is in IPFire but all of that is way beyond my capabilities. A different option is that we could copy the db.txt from the wireless-regdb source tarball to a location and then use that as the database source file for wlanap.cgi. db.txt is the text based equivalent of what is in the regulatory.bin file. A downside of that would be that we would not have the protection of the key signed file but I am not sure if that would be a problem here or not. We could always include a sha256 hash sum and use that to check that there has been no corruption of the file before loading it into @countrylist_cmd in wlanap.cgi What are the thoughts on my options above or on any additional options that I have not thought of.
