I would be shocked if all of the requirements of IEEE 802.11af are =
handled in the hardware! Go back and actually read and understand that =
specification. I do not expect the hardware to be querying a geolocation =
database (often multiple databases) and acting accordingly.

I have been watching this specific bit of spectrum from the Wireless =

that do NOT follow the required procedures there will be hell to pay as =
these specific frequencies are in use by lots of other users besides =
wireless networking.
