Johannes asked to forward it to the support system [1]. This was done now by
Sharadanand [2]. Interested persons might check the status there in case there
is no update in this thread.
Just for the laughs: Intel recommended [3] a couple of weeks ago to get a
cellar [4] where your Intel card can only receive an (from a legal perspective
incorrectly configured) AP which was set to the US country code. While it is
dubious for various reasons, this was part of the marked as solution (which
closed the discussion). I still hope that Intel customers aren't forced to
move their apartments into properly shielded cellars to use Intel HW. Would
give the German term "Kellerkind" a new meaning. :)
Kind regards,
Sven

[4] I still have some hope that they actually meant "shield box" here. And only
recommended it for controlled tests and not normal operation
