All,

FYI.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/09/05/fcc_software_updates/ (apologies for The Register’s tendency to scatological humor).

Lots of folks use dd-wrt releases to control their Wi-Fi routers instead of the vendor’s code, which likely wouldn’t be permitted under the rules proposed in this NPRM, so this isn’t a negligible issue.

Reminder: FCC databases are offline until the FCC staff updates are finished, which could bleed into next week.
