Same thing can be done with the WPN311 card as well on Windows XP - infact, IIRC, it is the same chipset as the previous generation MacBook uses which I used to connect to my Airport extreme at channel 13 to avoid collision with the neighbours. All these devices can do it - I doubt they would make a special 'japanese chip' and 'chinese chip' and 'european chip' - it would be hugely expensive and pointless when all this could be set using a combination of driver and firmware.
