+		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.
