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.

Abstract: Strips of material having on their top surfaces a large number of closely spaced flexible loops of resilient material, and a method for bonding such strip on the top riding surface of a surfboard. Strips of flexible material having on their top surface a large number of closely spaced hooking elements of resilient material which cooperate with said flexible loops are bonded to the chest area of a wet suit carried by the surfboard rider. The device prevents the rider from sliding off the board while paddling with face down on the board, against the surf.
