I am wondering how I can get rid of these error messages in kern.log:

Dec 7 21:28:55 iMac-G3 kernel: cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database
Dec 7 21:28:55 iMac-G3 kernel: cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee: 00b28ddf47aef9cea7'
Dec 7 21:28:55 iMac-G3 kernel: platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2
Dec 7 21:28:55 iMac-G3 kernel: cfg80211: failed to load regulatory.db

Some googing brought me to crda (not in BLFS
), but installing this application didn’t help.

Please not that, despite the above, my wireless access is working (via a Ralink USB stick).

My system: LFS-8.1 on iMac G3
pol [ ~ ]$ uname -a
Linux iMac-G3 4.15.7 #2 Tue Dec 4 21:07:19 CET 2018 ppc GNU/Linux

BTW:I found crda on https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/regulatory/crda
This web page also refers to ‘iw’. This application pretends to replace deprecated iwconfig.
But iwconfig is still in BLFS as part of Wireless Tools, while iw is not.
