My reading of this is that these features are illegal, period. Rogue AP detection is one thing, and disabling them via network or "administrative" (ie. eject the guest) means would be fine, but interfering with the wireless is not acceptable per the FCC regulations.
Seems like common sense to me. If the FCC considers this 'interference', which it apparently does, then devices MUST NOT intentionally interfere. I would expect interfering for defensive purposes **only** would be acceptable. What constitutes "defensive purposes"? Since this is unlicensed spectrum, I don't think there is anything one has a right to defend :)

If you charge for access and one person pays and sets up a rogue AP offering free WiFi to anyone in range. I can see a defensive angle there.

In that case turn off the offenders access. No FCC violation doing that. In any case, that was not what was happening here. /Mike
