Yes :P Some amateur radio people asked me about extending the spectrum a bit to the top (apparently they're allowed to use the band just above the ISM band as well). However, I don't think we need to cater them in the API. I think they ought to be able to live with kernel patches since we don't really know how far up the frequency on say the bcm43xx can go anyway before the card breaks/malfunctions. johannes
