[OpenWrt-Devel] FCC regulatory compliance

[John Clark]

I agree that if the FCC pursues this proposal, that OpenWRT for 5 GHz devices is doomed to return to the ‘get a binary with API’ from a validated provider, that was required in the days of Madwifi.

This of course only helps large corporations that can put their devices in for certification, and the smaller organizations which would use such devices, will just have to take what they can get.
