+               Atheros' idea of regulatory handling is that the EEPROM of the card defines
+               the regulatory limits and the user is only allowed to restrict the settings
+               even further, even if the country allows frequencies or power levels that 
+               are forbidden by the EEPROM settings.
+               Select this option if you want the driver to respect the user's decision about
+               regulatory settings.
