How is this > acceptable? How does this help in liberating the band? We're allowing clients which use the rules in the db to connect to APs in the band. We may be able to get APs supported later on by getting changes to break up passive-scan and no-IR. But with what we have to work with right now, and based on my interpretation of the rules, I think this is the best we can do currently. > > I also read the max EIRP for clients as 30 dBm without any TPC > > requirement.

Ah, thanks, I had forgotten about this.
