Hello,

According to 
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/Database?alpha2=BE 
the max EIRP for BE (Belgium) on the 5490-5710 Mhz band is 27dBm (500mW)

I was under the impression that it is actually 30dBm (1W) on that band, 
according to BIPT (Belgian Institute for Post and Telecommunications) 
regulations.

I've been trying to find a link to an official BIPT document but can't 
find one right now.
However, scroll to "Table 3" in this cisco document 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/wireless/rcsi/radiocom.html 
to see that Cisco uses 30dBm (1000mW) in their products.

Would it be possible to update the reg db ?

If you need extra information, let me know.

Thanks!

Regards,

Hans

It is very like that this band requires TPC, which we haven't
implemented yet (but Cisco would), and w/o TPC the regulations halve the
TX power limit.
