I havent been able to find anything of the sort and didn't that was =
needed.

I am aware of that FCC order, and I have read it. You will have to =
convince
me that it is relevant.

Specific documentation is a statement to the effect of "manufacturer X
certified their radio based on the Atheros chipset under the SDR rules." =
If
any such documentation exists, it is a matter of public record. I have
looked for and have not found any such documentation; maybe you will =
have
better luck than I. You can search the FCC's equipment authorizations at
<https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm>.
