Does FreeBSD AP (with ath) transmit regulatory domain? Should it?

Hello, Freebsd-wireless.
I have ath (9220) based AP (running FreeBSD 10-CURRENT). I live in
country "RU" where channels 1-13 are allowed for 2.4Ghz (8021.11ng)
WiFi. AP could be configured for channel 13, but my "main" client
doesn't see it.
Client is equipped with Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card and run
Windows.
Here is Intel KB article[1], which says, that card doesn't have
regulatory domain setting, but scans all channels, and selects
regdomain from AP. But it doesn't! It sees AP on channels 1-11 but not
on 12 or 13.
Is it FreeBSD AP problem or client problem?
