Re: [Karlnet] 802.11a radio's?

The "new" Orinoco a/b/g combo card has connector which is 'hidden' under 
the plastic antena cover case. It's strange - it's there but you actually 
need to make a hole in the case to use it.

Isn't it that there is some sort of FCC regulation prohibiting external 
connectors for radio devices working in 5.2GHz band?
