And like this for stupid APs:

        Country: US     Environment: Indoor/Outdoor
        Country IE triplets:
                Channels [36 - 36]
                Channels [40 - 40]
                Channels [44 - 44]
                Channels [48 - 48]
                Channels [52 - 52]
                Channels [56 - 56]
                Channels [60 - 60]
                Channels [64 - 64]
                Channels [100 - 100]
                Channels [104 - 104]
                Channels [108 - 108]
                Channels [112 - 112]
                Channels [116 - 116]
                Channels [120 - 120]
                Channels [124 - 124]
                Channels [128 - 128]
                Channels [132 - 132]
                Channels [136 - 136]
                Channels [140 - 140]
                Channels [149 - 149]
                Channels [153 - 153]
                Channels [157 - 157]
                Channels [161 - 161]
                Channels [165 - 165]

I noted to Johannes maybe we should add a debug flag for scan and let
the parsers have the option to either output some debug format (as the
one above) or short form, for which the above would just show:

                Channels [36 - 36]
                Channels [100 - 165]

Anyway I am posting this again just because I've already have had a
use for this for a couple of users I help out when debugging country
IE stuff. Figured its better merged than to keep referring to external
patches.
