Hi, This is in response to the below mail from Guy. I am trying to find out what does it mean to clients/stations. 1. Does it mean, AP can advertise non-US country but then STA needs to have some way to validate that ? 2. Does it mean AP can not send country IE at all? 3. How does FCC keep tab on rogue APs which can advertise non-US country in US? (does it mean user setting the country is disabled?) There are many questions around this.. it will be great if we can get clarifications on the changes needed in AP and STA mode. thanks atul Hi All, Recently I ran into this FCC new rule: FCC will disallow 802.11d after January 01, 2015 After January 01, 2015, the FCC will not allow the use of 802.11d. The client cannot rely on the Access Point to ensure compliance to the FCC certified frequency bands. For example today, a non-U.S. AP can be used in the US, which will allow transmitting on channels 12 & 13 with unapproved power output in the 2.4 GHz band, or channels 120, 124 & 128 which are prohibited in the 5 GHz band. This will not be the case once FCC enforces the new rule Does anyone know if there was any work done to support this? BR, Guy Mishol
