There have been reports about not being able to use access-points
on channel 12 and 13 or having connectivity issues when these channels
were part of the selected regulatory domain. Upon switching to these

This patch is to be applied to the stable tree for kernel versions
3.2 and 3.3.

Here's a blind backport to 3.0.y for the next cycle. Nothing scary
involved, though of course it's completely untested. Sensible?

Thanks,
Jonathan
