yeah, that will be helpful if Slides are published on WISPA web site somewhere.
The slides had some useful links to FCC Knowledge base documents.
I made the mistake of logging in at the last minute assuming gotomeeting 
wouldn;t require any updates since I've used it before, but missed the first 
half, as it took 20 minutes or so to finish all the softwre updates before I 
could join. Next  time, I know to login 20 minutes early :-)

Overall it was a nice "educational" session on 5.4G.

Its always discouraging though, because it reminds us that most of the gear 
many of us use and like to use would never get certified for 5.4 or 5,3 under 
the current software models.
It was clarified that nothing prohibits software developers from using their 
own software on certified hardware components, but reminds us that that does 
not authorize the use of self software that does not follow the rules. One rule 
being software cant have access to any driver setting that could be changed to 
disable compliance, such as ability to change country code.
More or less indirectly making the use of Open Source illegal in its current 
state, unless first compiled with options removed that allow changing driver 
settings that could compromise compliance.

Note that does not mean that Mikrotik/UBNT is illegal operating at 5.8G if 
certified for 5.8Ghz use. But it means it wont be certified for 5.4G, unless 
software is restricted further.

One of the interesting points was that not only is it illegal to use a higher 
gain antenna than ceertified with, but ALSO illegal to use a LOWER gain antenna 
than certified with. This has to do with DFS certified by minimim antenna gain.
