Unfortunately (or fortunately, I suppose) I can't, because a firmware
upgrade for the AP removed the country IE entirely.  But if we're
ignoring that data in 2.6.36 anyway, I'm not too worried.  If you
really want that data, I can downgrade the AP the week after next and
get it.

(FWIW, it looks like the Intel driver on Windows refused to work with
that AP but other people with macbooks could use it just fine.  I'd
guess that no one would complain if Linux ignored country IEs that
were transmitted outside their own "allowed" band, but this seems to
be moot anyway.)

P.S.  My thread about the AP that works on 2.6.34 but can't associate
most of the time on 2.6.35-rc6 is the same AP but with the new
firmware.
