Why is the USRP FCC-legal, but wifi cards have closed source drivers? Posted Sep 8, 2007 14:30 UTC (Sat) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] The risk is that FCC or another regulatory agency would consider the device non-compliant if there are drivers that make it easy to use the device beyond the allowed frequencies and power limits, especially if the device maker contributed any code or documentation to the driver.
