Comment (by anonymous):
Opinions? My 5ct: the whole thing is "broken" already upstream, not only
in OpenWRT.
An example: I get a TP-Link in Germany, the vendor-FW just overides the
allowed channels, with any Linux I know, I have to apply (again and
again!) crude "patches" to get ch12/13.
As otherwise it falls back to US, "World" (or in this case CN) which is
programmed in some eeprom and simply wrong..
I know, this is (regulatory/legal issues) pretty tricky (as DFS is) but
when I'm compiling an image as "root" I should have the choice to decide
wether I know what I'm doing here and which frequencies I'm allowed to
use.
I'd compare anybody building OpenWRT with an amateur radio-operator: you
can do anything, your just liable for the results.
So please give us an option, to "just fix it", dont make it default but
the current behavior is very, very annoying.
