Has there been any progress? What is the current legal situation? If somebody builds an open source wifi router is it even legal to sell it in US?!?

Thanks for the update Jenny.

I found this from one of the FCC commissoners https://www.fcc.gov/article/fcc-15-92a3

In case it slipped through the radar, please join the conversation and send an email to the FCC by August 16th re: new regulations preventing channel-switching and firmware flashing (eg OpenWRT) on wireless routers.

If someone from sudomesh could start a pad for writing a collective response, that would be great. I'll have some time on my nightbus ride to Berlin tonight to pitch in but will be unavailable for the next 8 hours.

Cheers,
