A kernel config option for cfg80211 has changed in one of the recent
Jaunty alpha kernel or module releases which disabled the "legacy"
options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU method.  Now that the CRDA method
is in place there is no way of passing the region to the module without
a git version of wpa_supplicant or a recent iw which is not yet packaged
for debian/ubuntu (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321630) as far as I
can tell.  Compiling iw from http://wireless.kernel.org/download/iw/
works to set the parameter per session, but a way of setting this
persistently or via the timezone and with actual ubuntu packages would
be nice!

Most of the info regarding the new behaviour is at:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA and
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw has info regarding
the iw tool I used to get my channel 13 back!
