Hi Seth

Thanks for patching this. Can I also bring a later patch that I posted to=
 your attention, the actual
patch is now out of date, but I'm posting verbatim since I think there is=
 a 25Mhz discrepancy (?)
and also my patch is almost certainly wrong, so I'm after your guidance!!=
 :-)

Essentially there has been a recent result of a consultation in the UK (G=
B) to expand wifi into 6Ghz
*AND* to NOT require DFS on high 5Ghz channels.

So in summary, the change you just made (sorry) can now be set to *NOT* n=
eed DFS in the high
channels around 5.7Ghz. More details in the links below.

In particular one of the additional frequency ranges (6Ghz) has an intend=
ed use of indoor where it
has large power outputs (and encouraged to use larger powers by request o=
f Intel), but it is *ALSO*
allowed to be used outdoor with very low power requirements (possibly it =
will later fall under the
UK's allowance to use higher output power if you buy a =C2=A350 licence?)=
=2E I've marked it as INDOOR-ONLY
since that seems safest - I'm unclear how to mark something for dual use?=


These changes significantly expand the available 5Ghz space in the UK, so=
 would be nice to get
upstream for general use

Thanks if you might make this second change!
