Okay about vendors, a) and b) compex and its WPE54AG supports "smartselect" funcion aka DFS and = country select as we talked about it recently. http://www.i4shop.net/cz/iObchod/Catalog.asp?ca=3D1620&it=3D9259 http://www.inwifi.cz/stahnete-si/soubor.php?f=3D4f1d47475a466cb321f82dea2= 00f92 d1 I tested these 2 boxes, they worked in smartselection mode, yes true, I = am not very sure about that because I did not scan it by kismet, so perhaps they worked seeming. About complaining, I did not want to complain you at all !!! Read my e-mail clearly I said = I disagree with you only one thing, it is how you wrote "slipped = requirement". And directly about Atheros, they do not answer repeatedly on my question about win32 drivers oid=B4s = so now I do not count that even they answer if I complain them now. You = know. :) Daniel > -----Original Message----- > From: Sam Leffler [mailto:sam@errno.com]=20 > Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 2:33 AM > To: dandee@volny.cz > Cc: 'Henrik Brix Andersen'; cvs-src@FreeBSD.org;=20 > src-committers@FreeBSD.org; cvs-all@FreeBSD.org > Subject: Re: cvs commit: src/sys/dev/ath if_ath.c if_athvar.h 1.153 >=20 > Daniel Dvor(=E1k wrote: > > Hi all, > >=20 > > I disagree with that the requirement had been slipped.=20 > Where is it written ? > >=20 > > In our country this requirement still exists and the same=20 > is with ETSI=20 > > the whole Europe countries.
