It would, and thanks for the correction. This board's firmware carries
Intel's wireless power methods and none of MediaTek's four. I put an
MT7927 in it recently and the MediaTek ones did not appear, so they do
not come with the card.

That is the right table, and nothing in it is padded. Yours is fine.

Every line reads the same because the driver writes the same number into
all of them:

	/* not used by fw */
	rule->power_rule.max_antenna_gain = DBI_TO_MBI(6);
	rule->power_rule.max_eirp = DBM_TO_MBM(22);

It is a placeholder rather than anything the card sent up, which is why
the same twenty-two turns up under every country code and not only
yours. So it is not evidence of what the radio will do in that band, in
either direction. The card has a power table of its own, separate from
this one, and debugfs shows it as txpower_sku.

That hole is in what the card replied with. The driver copies the ranges
across untouched, so 144 goes with it.
