--- Comment #6 from Adrian Chadd <adrian@freebsd.org> ---
So the regdomain.xml file basically is a copy of the ath_hal regdomain database
in it's almost entirety, flags, layouts and all.

It made searching easier (same as the ah_regdomain code) as you're looking for
highest op mode, frequency width within bounds, flags matching some mask, etc.
You didn't need to put anything other than range/mask operations in your
regdomain code.

I am however not married to it at all. Honestly, I'd rather we had a way to
convert the wireless reg.db stuff to xml in the short term and then find a way
to replace it entirely.

Also when reporting bugs like this, please do list which regdomain you ARE in
so we can see whether it's just lacking or missing. I know it's likely lacking
in a lot of places, but eg FCC vs FCC3 are different regdomains because of how
APs vs STAs behave (FCC3 includes the AP channels that require DFS, for
example..)
