Subject: [PATCH] iw: add country IE parsing
Spits out the channels as seen on the IE, useful when debugging
issues with APs. When found the equivalent distance of the
coverage class is printed out in meters.

OK so I removed the line that says we're printing IEs and also
added a distance compuation based on Lukáš Turek's forumal.
coverage = (distance + 449) / 450;
coverage/450 = distance + 499
(coverage/450) - 499 = distance
So in meters:
distance = (coverage/450) - 499
