detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In
many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove regional and
local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification
or approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM,
firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters
that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC).
These parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage,
channel scanning, and human exposure.
For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the
software provided in binary format with the wireless WLAN adapters (e.g.,
the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or
code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an
unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open source
code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be
solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii)
Intel will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues
associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims
under the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance,
and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing support to
any third parties for such modified products.
Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be
"modules", and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon
receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system
configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."
