Regardless of whether we AC> have the stack certified. I don't know WiFi Alliance rules, but when I participated in project, which included custom MasterCard/Visa terminal, PCI/DSS certification was much more simple and more straightforward in case, when device was based on certified platform (Certified ARM CPU + certified crypto library specific to this ARM chip). A whole bunch of certification steps was skipped by showing that we use certified platform. So, it was competitive advantage of provider of this platform :) But, may be, it is not a case in case of WiFi certification, I don't know. And anyway, we are far from this now :) It is too early to worry about certification, you are right. --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov
