The current version of the bcm43xx-softmac driver scans 14 channels, even though channels greater
than 11 are not permitted in the US and Canada. Similarly only channels 1-13 are allowed in Europe.
AFAIK, channel 14 is only allowed in Japan. The attached patch uses the value in bcm->sprom.locale
to set the maximum channel according to the guidelines. This patch is drawn against the 060215 snapshot.
