Hi,

I am glad to see this work, this is something that we need a solution
for.  I do wonder if we can push most of this out of the kernel and
into userspace.  We could hard code a single set of constraints in the
kernel which may be used world wide (802.11b channels 1-11, is that
allowed everywhere?).  Then we have a userspace tool which passes
updated regulatory information into the kernel based on the user's
country input.
