+	 *  - disconnect causes CRDA to reload world regdomain and the game
+	 *    starts anew.
+	 * (see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70881)

+	 * It seems possible that there are still scenarios with CSA or real
+	 * bandwidth changes where a this could happen, but those cases are
+	 * less common and wouldn't completely prevent using the AP.
