I've heard a few people say that a "poor man's" 802.11h would be easy to implement on top of any driver which allows for rf layer monitoring and setting the transmit power on the radio.
There are some other intermediate solutions, Apple's AirPort client interface for example has a method which return the "best" channel for an ad-hoc network, but nothing to set the power on the card, AirPort base stations can be set to "high-density" which presumably does something like 11h.

Maybe a relatively simple and cost-effective solution, IF it can work, and
BIG IF they can procure the needed partnerships. Atheros is already
officially on board.
Geee.... It sounds like 802.11H
