As you are taking japanese channels into account: How about handling the
 >= 4.9 GHz case for Japan as well?
See 802.11j-2004.pdf 17.3.8.3.2, 17.3.8.3.3 and table J.3 for details.

How about just adding some sort of table in other common code and using
that. Then you can submit a patch for that table :P

I did a variation of your suggestion by adding the ieee80211_channel_to_freq routine that ieee80211 was lacking. This way if anyone adds the 4.9 GHz channels in Japan to the ieee80211_geo struct, my routine will be just fine.
