Are you sure about this? Is this what ADI told you, personally?
The Original Manufacturer assembles a system and has it certified with that set of components and construction techniques. As long as the SAME parts and SAME techniques are used then this system should be certified. Of course the manufacturer must take responsibility and certify that proper components and techniques were used. As to software, there is a lot of leeway there. Most systems use Linux and all Atheros code is derived from the source code that people license from Atheros. The free madwifi drivers are still traceable and derived from Atheros source code. If you had to certify the exact software with the system, then it would be a nightmare and I believe that not a single manufacturer would currently be legal after they release a new image unless they would get each and every software release certified, as they must do for each hardware change. That would be excessive and would eventually make everybody illegal since software fixes are brought out rapidly to address security and reliability issues.

Matt, Is this latest news? The last I heard was adi had certified their board in their enclosure with a couple different antennas, but never heard what OS they were running. Also, to be certified you would have to purchase the units pre-assembled from ADI. Remember the certification goes to the manufacturer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Larsen - Lists" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2007 4:23 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] 5GHz Amps > Wrong. > > ADI Engineering has a certified StarOS/War Board combo, with a choice of > cards.
