From the 802.11 wiki...

The channels that are available for use in a particular country differ according to the regulations of that country. In the United States, for example, FCC regulations only allow channels 1 through 11 to be used. In Europe channels 1–13 are licensed for 802.11b operation (with 1, 5, 9 and 13 usually deployed). In Japan, all 14 channels are licensed for 802.11b operation.
My UK N800 scans 13 channels according to dmesg...

[47286.242340] Scan complete, scanned 13 channels

Some people have modified firmwares on PC cards to let them have the 14 channels... I wonder if we have a firmware/assembly guru in here
