I've seen this in a few places, but if anyone encounters similar behavior, I suggest the following: - Document the incident. - Identify the make and model of the access point, or controller, and be sure to pass along this information to the FCC's OET: http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ Vendors really need to start losing their US device certification for devices that include advertised features that violate US law. It would put a stop to this sort of thing pretty quickly. --msa
