I would love to see some comment from Tim Pozar on this issue.
I am not Tim Pozar, but I play him on TV. (Where is that wig?)
If one complies with the FCC rules and ones bridge does not exceed the FCC
limits does this setup need to be certified?
According to the rules, yes.
linksys is now selling amps and antennas Do they get certification on a
particular configuration or is each
Site individually certified?
Configuration. Amps are a special case, btw.
I take from your answer the Paperwork is the difference and the performance
is not substantially different?
Testing and submission are the difference.
If you don't put an amp on it, however, it is unlikely that the FCC cares much. (My
opinion.) The FCC doesn't
care much about antenna gain (again my opinion), since they know that all other things
being equal, increased
gain brings decreased coverage, and with decreased coverage comes less 'interference'.
As a reminder, part 15 says, "thou shalt not cause harmful interference, and thou
shalt accept all
interference without complaint."
So (again, in my opinion), the FCC won't be 'shutting down' anything that is a
combination of a WAP11 with a different
antenna attached. Amps, again, are very, very different. Offer a bridge with
associate antenna for sale, and, again,
big difference. (See: commerce clause, US Constitution)
Obviously my opinions don't necessarily represent those of my employer. <--- what is
this, usenet?

FCC certification. Well worth the $1900 if the FCC comes knocking at your
door. An uncertified system will be shut down on the spot.
