I'm poking around the internals of my N66U, and I found a list of country-codes. Most of them are self-explanatory, eg "US", "EU", "GB" and explicitly defined by the command:
Code:
wl country list
Then there's a bunch that are not making sense to me:
Code:
#a, #e, #r, 0A, 0B, 0C, J0, JE, MF, Q1, Q2, X0, X1, X2, X3, XA, XB, XR, XS, XT, XU, XV, XW, XX, XY, XZ, Z2, ww
What do those "country codes" mean? Is there a reference somewhere?
 
Some of these, like the #? ones are internal codes used for test purposes by the manufacturer I believe.
 
That makes sense.

But I keep seeing "Q2" as a setting in nvram. That's not making sense.

I believe some of these are related to newer revisions of local regulations.

These are not intended to be edited by the end user anyway, and are internal parameters that are documented by Broadcom, and only to their partners.
