Hi, In Europe ETSI standardized the used for short range devices (SRD) [1] in ETSI EN 300 440-1 [2]. According to this standard generic use equipment is allowed to transmit in the frequency range form 5725 MHz to 5875 MHz with a maximum output power of 25 mW e.i.r.p. This generic allocation also allows transmission of 802.11 devices. [3] has a list of countries and their status about the implementation of the SRD frequency bands. For the 5 GHz band this can be seen on page 38 in the paragraph ANNEX 1 and the entry Annex j. Attached is a patch that adds the 5 GHz SRD band to db.txt for Germany. If it is acceptable I can provide a patch adding the 5 GHz SRD band for the other countries listed in [3].
