Re: Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6250 AGN device issues under Windows 8, but not Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Aaron,

I am sorry for this inconvenience. As you mentioned, this is not a supported integration not only because of the hardware requirements but also the fact that is not in compliance with the FCC regulations.

Please note that Intel Wireless Adapters are meant to be professionally installed by Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technicians on certified systems only.
