Interesting, I had a look on ebay uk and came across conflicting information regarding regulations in the uk "If you intend to use this device within the UK Alfa have also provided an additional "European 100mw Driver on the disc" so that you wont exceed the UK limit and break any UK/EU regulations. "

Another claims if you are less than 1000 mW you are ok

Does anyone know what is true?
 as i would not want to run low than is needed if i bought one.

thanks

There wasn't such a lock on the early Acer netbooks; I doubt Asus would have one. In any event, you'd be better off buying an external adapter anyway, since you can get better reception and make sure your chipset is fully compatible with the sniffer software you plan to use. You can find high-power (1 watt) RTL8187L-based external adapters (Alfa clones) for $25 or less on eBay. I have a lower power (500mw) version of one of these, and have used it to easily pick up my University's wifi in areas that they claim aren't covered (and which the built-in cards on my thinkpads can't see).
