Strange.  This is what I get out of my WPEA-127N:

ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x0
ath: EEPROM indicates default country code should be used
ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search
ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x3a
ath: Country alpha2 being used: US
ath: Regpair used: 0x3a

Here's how my 5GHz channels look:
		Frequencies:
			* 5180 MHz [36] (17.0 dBm)
			* 5200 MHz [40] (17.0 dBm)
			* 5220 MHz [44] (17.0 dBm)
			* 5240 MHz [48] (17.0 dBm)
			* 5260 MHz [52] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5280 MHz [56] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5300 MHz [60] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5320 MHz [64] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5500 MHz [100] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5520 MHz [104] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5540 MHz [108] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5560 MHz [112] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5580 MHz [116] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5600 MHz [120] (disabled)
			* 5620 MHz [124] (disabled)
			* 5640 MHz [128] (disabled)
			* 5660 MHz [132] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5680 MHz [136] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5700 MHz [140] (20.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5745 MHz [149] (30.0 dBm)
			* 5765 MHz [153] (30.0 dBm)
			* 5785 MHz [157] (30.0 dBm)
			* 5805 MHz [161] (30.0 dBm)
			* 5825 MHz [165] (30.0 dBm)

This is running 2.6.37 with compat-wireless from sometime in March,
probably.  I'll try with 2.6.39 and latest compat-wireless when I get
a chance.
