My comment wasn't meant as an instruction.  If was based solely on
reading the code.

Even though narrow channels may be legal, I would prefer not to touch
MadWifi HAL.  New features belong to ath5k and ath9k, not to MadWifi,
which is barely maintained and hasn't made a release for over a year.  

The kernel has a regulatory database independent of the drivers, so it
should be safer to modify the driver code without risking to break some
rules.
