Current Known Limitations, Problems and Notices 

• Customer shall (i) obtain all government approvals and registrations for Customer's use of the software and (ii) comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in connection therewith (including, without limitation, regulatory requirements under Title 47 CFR Part 15, Industry Canada RSS-210, European Directive 1999/5/EC, and regulations related to RF exposure). Customer understands and acknowledges that the software is subject to all pertinent import and export laws of the United States.
• Linux: In the new multi-SSID  functionality, the linux router only supports port-forwarding for the main SSID.
• Linux: Application triggered port forwarding should only be disabled while traffic is not currently running.
• Linux: Afterburner mode does not support fragmentation. Customer  web pages will need to ensure that this combination is not set. The Broadcom sample web pages does not currently do this.
• Linux and VxWorks: CFE is the only supported boot loader
