No, this is wrong. read the comment above the bcm43xx_is_valid_channel() function. This function is only used to verify, that an integer value is a _technically_ valid channel number. There currently is no such thing as regdomain control in the linux ieee802.11 code. This is a major thing, which needs to be added. But it must not be added to all the drivers, but the ieee802.11 common code. -- Greetings Michael.
