...and in doing so, violate the local regulatory constraints. :)
Although I believe 802.11d specifies that the 802.11d beacons should
trump whatever the user specifies. (of course, 802.11d doesn't say what
to do when there are APs out there that disagree...)
While I feel it should be *posisble* to do so, the default should be to
query the hardware for its factory default, and go with that. Allowing
the user to change the regulatory domain at will.. is a rather fuzzy
legal area, to say the least.
