User's Manual

LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters
that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These
parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and
human exposure.
For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software
provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware).
Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters
that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code
(including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you
will be solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel
will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified
products, including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from
regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in
providing support to any third parties for such modified products.
Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and
accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data
documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio
operation to be non-compliant."
