Legal Power Output by Country

Is there a resource that lists the legal power output (mW) of an Access
Point, by country?

I'll start the ball rolling.
Australia follows

Frequency Band (MHz)
Maximum Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP)

915 to 928
1 watt

2400 to 2483.5
4 watts
(devices other than frequency hopping devices with a bandwidth greater
than 1 MHz)

2400 to 2483.5
500 milliwatts
(frequency hopping devices with a bandwidth greater than 1 MHz)

5725 to 5875
1 watt

I'm talking about consumer use of 802.11g, for example. Surely the output
levels you quoted are for special use, because they seem way high to be
legal. These would be considered multiple times over what the FCC allows in
the US.

IIRC the US is based on EIRP (Effective Radiated Power) which takes into
account the loss of the coax and the gain of the antenna rather than a pure
wattage figure - not sure what the maximum EIRP is here in the US though.

I believe you can find maximum EIRP tables in the 802.11 standard on the
IEEE.org web-site, as well as on the Cisco web-site.

In the USA it depends on whether one is using a directional antenna or an
omni. For an omni the max EIRP is 1 watt.

For North America, the 802.11b/g standards state limits of 1 watt, for
Europe 100 mW. Transmitters capable of more than 100 mW are required by the
standard to provide the ability to limit the power to 100 mW or less.

Anyone know the maximum EIRP in the USA for directional antenna on
802.11a/b/g devices?

I doubt that very much AFAIK the max in the US is also 100 mw!
