What does it take to enable channel 100?

My system should be doing DFS properly, but channel 100 (5500 Mhz) and nearby are still not enabled. What extra do I need to do?

I have some hacks to enable DFS-FCC, which fixes at least some of the DFS problems in upstream kernels, and regulatory.bin is only a few months old.
