In the end, Open Source is winning...
However, I see a "bad apples" component to Mark's argument. If the rules
are to allow us to mix / match any individually certified components
into a whole new component, there will be some idiots out there that
will throw an amplifier or whatever else in between, just to be different
That's what the FCC is scared of...junk all over the place.
And that would be different from now?
If an operator does not want to abide by the rules the component changes
aren't going to make a difference. I don't see how the component rule
would be a bad thing, if it is possible to certify
radio/software/antenna sets.

I see nothing wrong with piecing together components like Mikrotik, WRAP
boards, CM9's, SRx's, etc. as long as we stay within the technical limits
of the law. there are those here that will scream at me (us, and don't
forget that..) for doing this, and to those I say, "go certify it!"
I have an idea though. Well, a repeat idea. I'm not sure how the
certification process works, but wouldn't it be interesting to get all
these "open source" pieces certified by the FCC, and then put it to bed ?
