I wonder if it is time to start changing all those unnecessary 40 MHz limits? At least for Europe, the norm seems to be limits on total power and power density within the allowed bands, but no actual channel width restrictions. Any channel is OK as long as the you stay within the other limits. Or do I misread the regulations? Using 802.11ac 80MHz channels *anywhere* seems to require overriding the regdb at the moment, which can't be right? Googling leads to some patches like this one: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/wireless-regdb/2013-April/000153.html but nothing which has been applied. Given that most of the current 40 MHz restrictions are just invented to fit into the database, isn't a bulk update appropriate?
