>Description:
In my environment (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200),
I got 'ifconfig wlan0 country JP' missed.

# ifconfig wlan0 country JP
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument

And I got following failure message, too:

Jul 21 00:13:18 pelsia kernel: iwn0: iwn_setregdomain: invalid channel 8 freq 2447/0x20480

I tried to modify /etc/regdomain.xml and tried to do
ifconfig.  So I found error setting at freqband
'H4_2412_2472' (only use in regdomain Japan).

At least, this should be set <freqend>2466</freqend>
instead of <freqend>2472</freqend>.  However, maybe,
this should be used 'H4_2412_2462'.

Sorry, I couldn't find this reason that this should be
2412MHz-2472MHz and/or 2412MHz-2466MHz(2462MHz?).
So I don't know my patch is right.
