This fixes a regression on disallowing bands introduced with the new 802.11d support. The issue is that IEEE-802.11 allows APs to send a subset of what a country regulatory domain defines. This was clarified in this document: http://tinyurl.com/11d-clarification As such it is possible, and this is what is done in practice, that a single band 2.4 GHz AP will only send 2.4 GHz band regulatory information through the 802.11 country information element and then the current intersection with what CRDA provided yields a regulatory domain with no 5 GHz information -- even though that country may actually allow 5 GHz operation. We correct this by only applying the intersection rules on a channel if the the intersection yields a regulatory rule on the same band the channel is on. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
