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 > > This sounds like the better solution.

If you are okay with this approach of creating a text file I will go ahead and redo the previous patch set to include a text file generation and modification of wlanap.cgi to use it.
