Attached are two small patches for include/net/ieee80211.h to prepare for later submission of code
to implement a user-space daemon that supplies 802.11 regulatory information.
The first change adds a bit indicating that 802.11h rules are to be applied to a channel. As
discussed earlier in this list, a single bit is unlikely to be sufficient; however, at this time I
have been unable to find any regulations implementing differences between 802.11a and 802.11h other
than DFS, radar detection and passive scanning. A single bit is thus sufficient to convey to the
driver that these rules should be obeyed.
The second change adds comments to the freq and max_power fields of struct ieee80211_channel to
indicate the units that are used.
