Alas, this was taken out after a while.<\/p>\n
After googling around and banging on this a bit, the “Country Code” for “Compliance Mode” that had an ID of 511 is now called “Licensed”.\u00a0 You can find it in\u00a0\/var\/etc\/ccodes.inc.\u00a0 The trick is to set the Atheros chipset on startup to the county code you want.\u00a0 \u00a0This would be done with a custom script that runs when the radio boots up.\u00a0 You will need firmware that supports that that has “cs” in the file name.\u00a0 Go to:<\/p>\n
