I get this and only the default "00" channels are enabled:

# dmesg|grep ath
ath9k 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
ath9k 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x0
ath: EEPROM indicates default country code should be used
ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search
ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x3a
ath: Country alpha2 being used: US
ath: Regpair used: 0x3a
ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'ath9k_rate_control'
Registered led device: ath9k-phy0

# dmesg|grep cfg80211
cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain

When I enable CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB (without editing db.txt),
I get this instead and all US channels are enabled:

# dmesg|grep cfg80211
cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: US
cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: US
cfg80211:     (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp)
cfg80211:     (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2700 mBm)
cfg80211:     (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 1700 mBm)
cfg80211:     (5250000 KHz - 5330000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm)
cfg80211:     (5490000 KHz - 5710000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm)
cfg80211:     (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 3000 mBm)

Since CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB works perfectly, I think
something is wrong with my userspace crda.
