2.6.28 had static regulatory settings for "US", "EU" and "JP" built-in, 
and "US" was enabled by default. Active scans were allowed there on 
channels 1-11, but now the default changed to "World" and that is VERY 
restrictive. If you don't have crda installed, you cannot use any 
802.11a channels, only channels 1-11 are enabled with passive scanning 
only and no adhoc.
