Comment 31 for bug 333730

Hi,
I had a similar behavior with my ASUS X5DIJ-SX018L notebook with Ubuntu
9.04. However things improved a lot as I modified the regional frequency
regulation configuration. The driver seems to follow the US frequency
regulations by default; this can cause trouble when the AP uses a different
scheme.
