Interesting. How does the driver determine if I am in France or not?

That's some magic we will never know! ;-)

(it knows, since the cards sold in france have an hardware adres, know by the driver to activate the limit, i'd guess)

The cards are localized. Go in System Profile and look at the Wireless Card Locale field of the airpot card. Mine says USA (I bought my machine there) and thus the chanel 12 and 13 remained locked on mine while my french colleagues enjoy a wider band... :-(

The interesting thing about this story, is that Apple France was claiming for a while that it was not possible to unlock those cards... :-)
