Is this patch not upstream? Or do you mean that the db.txt format causes an issue for 3.10 kernels which do not have this patch when the internal regdb is used? If so that's a good corner case that I had not considered -- the removal of the antenna gain for future releases of db.txt obviously would have had an impact on older kernels with an awk script expecting something different. We need a solution for this and thanks for reporting this. Since we have to support both for older kernels I think we will need to modify the awk script to pick up on the differences... that's the only thing I can think of. That or break the db.txt to not work with older kernels, but we don't want that... Can you hack up a solution now that I've identified the issue? Otherwise I can look at it soon. Luis
