Fine with me here.

Not exactly. The maximum power in this band depends on whether we are
indoor or outdoor. If we are indoor, we are allowed to have 20dBm in the
whole 2400 - 2454 MHz band and can still use 40MHz bandwidth. Maybe I
should describe that different?

	(2412 - 2483.5 @ 40), (N/A, 20), NO-OUTDOOR
        (2412 - 2454 @ 40), (N/A, 20), NO-INDOOR
        (2454 - 2483.5 @ 40) (N/A, 10), NO-INDOOR

In fact, this depends on the indoor/outdoor flags issue which can be
resolved later.

If it's documented that the DFS flag implies PASSIVE_SCAN, that's fine
with me.
