I'm a little curious about this one. I do agree that it would simplify things, but is an EU contry code something standard that wireless APs generally will advertise, or that clients will understand? And we do still have all the individual countries to maintain. Maybe it would make sense to define an EU region as rules that countries could inherit, and then have rules for any deviations from the common EU rules. Thoughts? Thanks, Seth
