Forgot to Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxx for this patch during its submission, this is needed on 2.6.28 as otherwise there is an issue for Intel cards which get their channels 5 GHz disabled if OLD_REG is set to no (this is not the default) or the channels 12-14 are disabled if OLD_REG is set to yes (default) set to no and the ieee80211_module parameter is not used. The later issue is resolved by userspace as well but we cannot yet expect 2.6.28 kernels to have enough userspace interfaces to set the regulatory domain just yet. This is why OLD_REG is still set to default with 2.6.28. 14b9815af3f4fe0e171ee0c4325c31d2a2c1570b Author: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 12 14:22:03 2008 -0800 cfg80211: add support for custom firmware regulatory solutions This adds API to cfg80211 to allow wireless drivers to inform us if their firmware can handle regulatory considerations *and* they cannot map these regulatory domains to an ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2. In these cases we skip the first regulatory hint instead of expecting the driver to build their own regulatory structure, providing us with an alpha2, or using the reg_notifier().
