I also investigated in the Atheros US default regulatory domain issue. 
It appears there is a patch for this issue in the OpenWRT code, but I 
was unable to locate it, so I wrote my own patch against the ath.ko 
module, which allows to set a different country code at load time by 
means of a module parameter. I did not push this patch though, as it 
modifies the regulatory handling of all atheros drivers that depend on 
ath.ko

I can push this if you think there is demand.

Someone might need to port this to master.

Ah by the way, I deleted my master branch, what needs to be done to pull 
it again?

cheers
Erich
