@Linux@planet.moe @housepanther@social.goblackcat.com @Linux@mivatter.com @nixCraft@mastodon.social oh :( There's a link to a PDF from the NetGear FAQ: "How did NETGEAR receive conditional approval? We reviewed the FCC's public guidelines for conditional approval, submitted an application that followed those guidelines, and received approval. The FCC's guidelines required detailed information for the relevant agencies to conduct an individualized national security assessment to determine whether the consumer router producer poses "unacceptable risks." Those public guidelines are available here: https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/Guidance-for-Conditional-Approvals-Submissions0326.pdf" is this the one?

@Linux@planet.moe @housepanther@social.goblackcat.com @Linux@mivatter.com @nixCraft@mastodon.social Hmm, "No" is the answer - that's just the generic guidelines, now that i've read it :(

@chewie@mammut.gogreenit.net That was the first one, which is only the overlay (two pages, which amounts to a summary). There is another PDF that is more detailed and specific, beyond just manufacturing in the United States, because it goes into detail on what qualifies as manufacturing in the United States. Truthfully, if you're good at searching the FCC's website, which I always found to be a mess. It was worth the read if you can find it. @housepanther@social.goblackcat.com @Linux@mivatter.com @nixCraft@mastodon.social
