Subject: Model 633ANHMW Wireless LAN mini-PCIe Card
         FCC ID: PD9633ANH

Gentlemen:

Please be advised that the Model 633ANHMW 802.11abgn Wireless LAN mini-PCIe card is
manufactured for the global market but when marketed in the U.S. under FCC ID
PD9633ANH the non-volatile memory (NVM) will be programmed at the factory to only
actively scan and operate on these specific channels during normal WLAN operation.
During Wi-Fi Direct mode the device may act as a group owner (GO) to establish a peer-to-
peer (P2P) network including conditions when no master device is present on these specific
channels.

Channels 1-11, 2412-2462MHz 802.11b mode
Channels 1-11, 2412-2462MHz 802.11g mode
Channels 1-11, 2412-2462MHz 802.11n mode (20MHz channel)
Channels 3-9, 2422-2452MHz 802.11n mode (40MHz channel)

The following dynamic frequency selection (DFS) channels will be programmed at the
factory to passively scan and will only listen for a master device and cannot send a probe
request to initiate communication on these DFS channels. Client software and drivers will
never enable the device to act as a master or GO for operation in DFS frequency bands and
therefore ad-hoc mode is always disabled on these passive scan DFS channels.

Channels 52-64, 5260-5320MHz 802.11a mode
Channels 52-64, 5260-5320MHz 802.11n mode (20 MHz channel)
Channels 54-62, 5270-5310MHz 802.11n mode (40MHz channel)
Channels 100-140, 5500-5700MHz 802.11a mode
Channels 100-140, 5500-5700MHz 802.11n mode (20 MHz channel)
Channels 102-134, 5510-5670MHz 802.11n mode (40MHz channel)

This device meets the requirements of FCC Part 15.202 and accordingly the following non-
DFS channels will be programmed at the factory to passively scan and will only listen for a
master device and cannot send a probe request to initiate communication during normal
WLAN operation. When operating in Wi-Fi Direct mode these non-DFS channels may
operate as a P2P client device or GO to establish a P2P network if, and only if, a master

                                                                               Intel Corporation
                                                                         100 Center Point Circle
                                                                           Columbia, SC 29210


device is present and network communication is maintained between a master device and the
GO.

Channels 12 &13, 2467 & 2472MHz 802.11b mode
Channels 12 &13, 2467 & 2472MHz 802.11g mode
Channels 12 &13, 2467 & 2472MHz 802.11n mode (20MHz channel)
Channels 10 &11, 2457 & 2462MHz 802.11n mode (40MHz channel)
Channels 36-48, 5180-5240MHz 802.11a mode
Channels 36-48, 5180-5240MHz 802.11n mode (20 MHz channel)
Channels 38-46, 5190-5230MHz 802.11n mode (40MHz channel)
Channels 149-165, 5745-5825 802.11a mode
Channels 149-165, 5745-5825MHz 802.11n mode (20 MHz channel)
Channels151-159, 5755-5795 802.11n mode (40MHz channel)

This information when programmed into the NVM will not be accessible and can not be
changed by the end user. The transmitter is approved as a non-software defined radio and
OEMs and third party system integrators do not have the ability through software to allow
configuration controls that would permit the device to operate outside the grant conditions
per FCC KDB 594280.
