ACER DX900 WiFi in Europe

My Acer DX900 is a Windows Mobile phone with WiFi. When I tried to connect to a channel 13 AP the AP could not be discovered! After some googling i found out that the wifi (Marvel GSPI 8686) was setup for USA and not Europe!

All I had to do was change this registry key:

HKLM\Comm\GSPI86861\Parms\RegionCode

for Europe I changed the key to 0×30 (HEX) and reboot the phone!

the available region codes are:

0×10 USA FCC,

0×20 Canada IC

0×30 Europe ETSI

0×31 Spain

0×32 France

0×40 JP MKK
