No, I did not test them. If they don't work, then you need to debug cfg80211. 
These things are not a part of the driver. It only does what it is told.

You need to set a proper regulatory domain. Yours says "country 00", which is 
not right. Mine says

finger@larrylap:~> iw reg get
country US:
         (2402 - 2472 @ 40), (3, 27)
         (5170 - 5250 @ 40), (3, 17)
         (5250 - 5330 @ 40), (3, 20), DFS
         (5490 - 5600 @ 40), (3, 20), DFS
         (5650 - 5710 @ 40), (3, 20), DFS
         (5735 - 5835 @ 40), (3, 30)

and that 27 dBm exactly matches what iwconfig says.
