IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING THIS DRIVER

Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and
quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and
governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they
are designated and/or marked to ship into. Since wireless LANs are
generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars,
satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes
necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid
interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to
provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and
governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the
product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, 
microcode, 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 WLAN
adapters (e.g., the EEPROM, regulatory daemon, and microcode). 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.

The drivers available for download from SourceForge are provided as a
part of a development project.  Conformance to local regulatory
requirements is the responsibility of the individual developer.  As
such, if you are interested in deploying or shipping a driver as part of
solution intended to be used for purposes other than development, please
obtain a tested driver from Intel Customer Support at:
