Might be the more sane approach.

I noticed that hostapd generates 11d IEs based on the channel list it
reads from the kernel.
Thus restricting STAs to the max tx power the hw is capable of. Just
adding the max regulatory
tx power looked like an easy solution :)

Jouni, would you be ok with using the kernels regulatory domain for
11d IEs in hostapd?

Thanks,
Helmut
