Sure, I tried "DE" with the same result as well.

Fortunately, wireless-testing doesn't crash during the rtl8187 driver load
anymore, but changing the regulatory domain seems to be no-op (see below).

Furthermore the current wireless-testing breaks the rtl8187 driver completely.
If I try to connect to an AP (with or without changing the domain),
it hard-freezes the kernel without any log entry.

I wonder why is there than the EU (confusing) code at all?
Actually I would expect a "smallest common intersection" of the 27 European
Union member states.
