Michael, This is the first time I have gotten into this subject, and the last. As I said, I have seen this same thing come up at least a dozen time on this list. While I did say how long I have been on this list, my time in the industry is only about a month longer. Its always the same thing, it goes round and round with people getting angry.
I don't run MT, I was merely trying to point out the major differences, imho, between a PC (win32) with a wireless adapter, and MT with a wireless adapter. Do you think those pci card manufacturers have certified the card with a bigger antenna than it shipped with? I highly doubt it. Once that is changed, the card would no longer be a certified "module". I made one comment in this entire thread, which I am already regretting. I hardly consider that vocal. My comment was not meant to be sarcastic, I would like to see a ruling on it one way or another, but I am not going to run around trying to get it. Its not worth my time, I don't need to start working 70-hour weeks. this thread > /dev/null, Ryan On Mon, 2007-06-11 at 02:20 -0400, Michael Erskine wrote: > Ryan, > > A few of you are making a lot of noise. > You seem to want to talk a lot about how MT is not certified and you say > "but if it were"... > Ryan, Why haven't you and those so vocal gone to the FCC with this > question already? > The FCC is but a telephone call away. > http://www.fcc.gov/ > > It never ceases to amaze me how men and women of obvious intelligence > will debate ad nasuiem > about how some government agency will rule on some topic, but never will > they find the courage > to simply call that agency and ask them.
