Come to think of it, do we want to make this an FCC specific thing
only? If so then the dfs_region could be checked prior to enablement.
If the premise is that we'd trust to be associated to a non-GO type
AP, that is a real AP, then we could likely consider a requirement
that this real AP would be using a country IE as well. Please consider
this.

Looks good otherwise.
