[wireless-regdb] [PATCH 1/1] wireless-regdb: Update rules for Australia (AU) to align with class licence

[Michael Harris]

I am not sure where the existing regdb rules for Australia were derived from
(perhaps some default template?) but they are a lot more restrictive than the
actual class licence requirements.

I have updated to the best of my ability according to the "Radiocommunications
(Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2000" which can be
found here:

http://www.acma.gov.au/Industry/Spectrum/Radiocomms-licensing/Class-licences/class-licences

There is also a useful FAQ for 2.4GHz WLANs here:

NB. I am resending this message as my first attempt did not make it onto
wireless-regdb (although it did get to linux-wireless). I didn't
realize one has to
subscribe to wireless-regdb in order to post. Apologies in advance if anyone
gets unwanted multiple copies.
