This "Virgin Media" device, aka Netgear WNDA3200, is selling with a
world roaming regulatory domain = 0x65.
[ 1547.403743] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x65
[ 1547.403745] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map
[ 1547.403748] ath: Country alpha2 being used: 00
[ 1547.403750] ath: Regpair used: 0x65
