I think they are using a non-public HAL, considering that they offer
half-width and quarter-width channels.  I think all regulation is done
in HAL.  The card may contain the country code, but I don't think the
hardware itself interprets it in any way.

In other words, it seems irrelevant to MadWifi.  Still, it's useful to
know what frequencies the hardware supports.
