That's a manufacturer problem. _THEY_ have to certify the device anyway. Regardless of whether we have the stack certified. same deal with FCC certification. Just because our stack is certified, doesn't mean that the product will meet FCC certification requirements. So don't worry about the certification angle. We should aim to get this stuff as bullet proof as possible so the certification process is _easy_, but anyone making wifi-certified products have to get htem certfied anyway. -adrian On 30 June 2013 13:56, Lev Serebryakov wrote: > Hello, Adrian. > You wrote 1 =D0=B8=D1=8E=D0=BB=D1=8F 2013 =D0=B3., 0:52:56: > > AC> blah, lemme ask some people who know people @ wifi alliance for some = help. > > AC> maybe we can get FreeBSD in as a member somehow without having to pay > AC> ridiculous levels of cash.
