12 Hi,
13 If you try to run euscan on that, you'll get:
14
15 > * Url doesn't seems to depend on version: 20101124 not found in http://wireless.kernel.org/download/wireless-regdb/wireless-regdb-2010.11.24.tar.bz2
16
17 What's happenning here is that the version can be found in the url, so
18 even a directory scan won't find anything because it won't be able to
19 match files.
20 It would work correctly if the version was 2010.11.24 or the file was
21 named wireless-regdb-20101124.tar.bz2.
22
23 Unfortunatly, making that work would probably introduce a lot of false
24 positive in other cases.
25
26 Thanks,
27
