I guess so, but the libertas+cfg80211 patch hasn't yet landed.
And if it lands, it will have a WAY simpler 11d coding than
before:
1. get the region code out of the EEPROM, convert it, call call
regulatory_hint_11d().
2. no need to parse the scan result IE for a WLAN_EID_COUNTRY,
because cfg80211 does this for us
3. no need to parse the association response either, because
cfg80211 does this for us
4. no need to store special channel settings, because cfg80211
does this for us
At least this is how I understand it based on my current
region-handling knowledge of cfg80211, which isn't too deep.
