When/where the regulatory domain is intended to be setup ?
If I set up it manually with "iw reg set" this setting is lost after a
reboot. So it seems that a startup script needs to set the regulatory
domain after every reboot, if you want full WLAN function after a reboot.

Why is the regulatory.bin file installed in /usr/lib and iw in/usr/sbin,
whereas the other parts of the framework are living in / ? If you want to
mount /usr over a WLAN connection, this will restrict you to use channels
1-11 for that WLAN .

One other question: Are these packages installed by default if needed? I run
zypper dup last week and those packages were not installed at all, it seems
there are some missing dependencies...
