(57) ABSTRACT
Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a network interface card or the like for a wireless local area network may include a non-volatile memory in which a table of parameters for operation in one or several countries may be stored. The table may specify how the network interface card is to perform in multiple countries or regulatory domains so that the network interface card may adapt to operate in multiple countries, thereby allowing a network interface card manufacturer or vendor to use a single stock keeping unit for the network interface card in one or more countries.
