Of course, you can make a d80211 specific region code enum and map hardware region codes to those region codes and this would work well for most hardware out there.. except for ipw3945. So, this patch would allow the ipw3945 to do its own funny thing while everyone else uses a library to setup the channels. -Michael Wu
