5ghz unii allocations differ by country as well. in the US we have 5.15-5.35 for indoor/outdoor and 5.725-5.825 for outdoor. japan has 5.15-5.25 and europe has 5.15-5.35 and 5.47-5.725. I'm not sure what the allocation is in korea but it may well be different than that supported by regulatory domain A US card was built for. I would note that the a hopeful sign is that samung is a vendor of 802.11a equipment. > - Jim > IETF 58 NOC > > > > -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel Jaeggli Unix Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key Fingerprint: 5C6E 0104 BAF0 40B0 5BD3 C38B F000 35AB B67F 56B2
