Windows 7 nicely deleted a bunch of partitions from my hard disk during boot for no reason, which is nice. The result being I had to reinstall fresh with 12.04.

The regulatory domain now appears to default to 00 (Worldwide). After correcting this again with iw reg set GB the output seems different to the last time I went through all of this. I'm guessing I had old config files left over.
