[ath9k-devel] [PATCH] ath9k: Allow over-riding reg-domain.

[greearb at candelatech.com <greearb@candelatech.com>]

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

Otherwise, can't get the Sparklan AR9380 NICs to be
5Ghz APs, since they are in world-roaming domain by
default.  Add this to /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf:

options ath9k override_eeprom_regdomain=0
