In 802.11b/g mode, bcm43xx actively scans channels 1-14 no matter what locale has been set,
either in the sprom or by the locale option. This behaviorviolates regulatory rules
everywhere in the world except Japan. This patch changes the default range to the correct
value if the locale has been set, and to channels 1-13 if no locale has been set.

John,
This should be applied to wireless-2.6.
