Looks like we might have to deal with this for 2.6.26, maybe by setting the region based on locale? (Kernel boot options would work, but very hard to remember.)

Subject: Peter Van Eynde: wireless in 2.6.26 considered bad for europeans
User-Agent: rss2email
![][1]After upgrading to 2.6.26 I could not associate with my AP anymore. After
searching I noticed that the amount of channels reported by _iwlist wlan0
channel_ had changed. And the channel that my AP was using (13) just
disappeared.
I openeded a [bug][2] with the iwl people and the end result is: in 2.6.25 the
card selected the region for the wireless, in 2.6.26 the cfg80211 system is
doing so and the default is 'US'.

So if you are in Europe you need to add a file /etc/modprobe.d/cfg80211-region
with as contents:
options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU
