Wireless option - Country?

Hobbes · 2006-11-03 13:19:16

Whats the point of it? Had the wireless drivers popping up saying to set your location. Thought it was referring to which hub to hit but when I went into the nw card settings it had country lists. Anyone know what thats for?

Different countries allow different channels to be used. e.g. on 2.4Ghz 802.11b, U.S. allow 11 channels, Most of Europe 13 channels, France 4 channels........So, when you are asked for your country, the driver setup the correct channels for your location.
