Please don't post to madwifi-cvs, it's only for automatic commit
messages.

You can check the rules in the HAL sources.  In the trunk, it's in
ath_hal/ah_regdomain.c.  I don't know if those rules are up to date.

For a maintained database, please see wireless-regdb:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory

wireless-regdb and crda regulate mac80211 drivers, such as ath5k and
ath9k.  For those drivers, you can see the settings by running "iw reg
get".
