The problem isn't there for the bits that Ivo sent, as the rt2500 devices don't support the a band.

For rt2500pci and rt2500usb there are chipsets which support 5GHz (they are rare, but they do exist),
comments for the Ralink drivers indicate they simply didn't add the regulatory domain definitions yet.

OK. But the EEPROM definitions I got from Ralink on the Country
information indicate that there is only a single indication in the EEPROM.

That is right, like I said the comments already indicates there the legacy code didn't contain the
definitions (yet). ;)

GertJan, some comments about your patch:

Where did you find this definition? I couldn't find it in the legacy driver or the specsheets.

I got an excerpt from the EEPROM definition for the rt2460 chip (which I
received with the help of Luis). It's defined in there.

I assume you mean the file RT2460_DS_P1.3.pdf, could you point me to the right pagenumber?

No, I meant RT2460_EEPROM_Channels.pdf, which was sent by Ralink a couple of months ago. You were copied on the email; let me know if you can't find them. Note that these were only small excerpts from the entire EEPROM definitions, only the parts on geography information.
