PSA: it's 2011, not 1971. The plaintext filter on l-w is stupid. If its main goal is to ensure that patches come through correctly, it doesn't help that much. Independent of plaintext, people still have to jump through hoops to make sure the line wrapping comes through okay.

The lowest value for the 5 GHz band listed is 17 dBm. So why are the Intel cards limited to 15dBm then for both bands? This value absolutely makes no sense in my view. > > [1] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-regdb.git;a=blob;f=db.txt;hb=HEAD > Are you forgetting to account for the 3 dBi--7 dBi antenna gain?
