Oh and here is the script used by Fedora (thanks to John):

#!/bin/sh

REGDOMAIN=/etc/sysconfig/regdomain
CLOCK=/etc/sysconfig/clock

if [ -f $REGDOMAIN ]
then
        # This should set COUNTRY
        . $REGDOMAIN
        iw reg set $COUNTRY
        exit
fi

if [ -f $CLOCK ]
then
        # This should set ZONE
        . $CLOCK
else
        echo "Timezone information not found!  Unable to set regulatory domain."
        exit
fi

if [ -z "$ZONE" ]
then
        echo "Timezone information not set!  Unable to set regulatory domain."
        exit
fi

COOKED_ZONE=$(echo $ZONE | sed -e 's/ /_/')

COUNTRY=$(grep $COOKED_ZONE /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab | awk '{ print $1 }')

if [ -z "$COUNTRY" ]
then
        echo "Could not determine country!  Unable to set regulatory domain."
        exit
fi

iw reg set $COUNTRY
