46 * guesses on regulatory to help with world roaming. This is only used for

49 * 1-11 are already enabled by the world regulatory domain; and on
50 * non-radar 5 GHz channels.
52 * Drivers do not need to call this, cfg80211 will do it for after a scan
53 * on a newly found BSS. If you cannot make use of this feature you can

74 * band it is on. It is technically possible for APs to send channel
75 * country IE triplets even for channels outside of the band they are
76 * in but for that they would have to use the regulatory extension
77 * in combination with a triplet but this behaviour is currently
78 * not observed. For this reason if a triplet is seen with channel
79 * information for a band the BSS is not present in it will be ignored.

92 * If we suspend, go to another country and resume we'll automatically
93 * get disconnected shortly after resuming and things will be reset as well.
94 * This routine is a helper to restore regulatory settings to how they were
95 * prior to our first connect attempt. This includes ignoring country IE and
96 * beacon regulatory hints. The ieee80211_regdom module parameter will always
97 * be respected but if a user had set the regulatory domain that will take
98 * precedence.
