I've changed the patch based on your suggestions :-)
Hopefully my mailer doesn't eat the tabs this time, if it does I've
put the patch up at

Thanks for the patch! Please always look up the MAINTAINERS entry for
the code you are modifying and CC the developers on patches.

I looked at the mainteners file, but the zd1211rw website (
http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite ) says not to e-mail you guys
directly, rather use the mailing list.
Comments below, all minor points.

Your mailer ate tabs and wrapped long lines. You're going to need to fix
that.

whoops. Sorry about that.

There is no need to store a geo reference here. You can use
zd_chip_to_mac() to go from chip to mac, then mac-to-ieee80211 is easy.

That is much cleaner. Thanks :-)

Typo, you mean boundary. Also, I think the debug message can go once
you're confident it's working correctly.

This added line could go as well.

I think that after the above changes, your modifications to zd_chip.h
can be removed.
Yup. Much cleaner :-)
