"IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS:
Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to ensure
that they meet all necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements for the
regions that they are designated and/or marked to ship into. Because wireless LANs are generally
unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed
devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically 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 LAN 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."
