"So we're currently at a point where Broadcom's latest freely distributable wireless firmware is easily modifiable by anyone. I think that harms Broadcom's argument for not releasing older firmware due to regulatory issues."Indeed. Broadcom's position on the whole regulatory thing seems to be entirely based on inconsistent paranoid fantasies, and we should be using all means at our disposal to demonstrate the idiocy of their position.

The Broadcom card in my MacBook Pro regularly has its country code set (by other people's routers) to the wrong country code. I have no way of returning it to the correct code. How does that help with compliance? It just excludes me from networks in the UK which use channels 12 and 13. Madness.
