Hello everyone, I'm using backports20140417 on fedora 20 running
kernel 3.14; I have an rtl8192cu-based wifi card (AWUS036NHR) I bought
from amazon italy; I usually had to 'pimp' the CH1_11 rule definition
in regd.c to be able to use channels 12-13 here in italy, however this
morning i stumbled accross this patch:

I just dropped by to say that it works and I'm no more stuck into
channels 1-11 nor into hacky-whacky ugly workarounds; maybe this patch
could be pushed into production.
