Well, I don't know anything about this, but I'll speculate anyway :)
It seems to me that the FCC can't put any restrictions on the driver,
but they probably can say that running the wireless card with a
modified driver is an uncertified configuration, and hence illegal.
From what I understand, usage of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands doesn't
require a license for the end user, but does require FCC
approval/certification of the radio. So do what you want with the
driver, but as soon as you start broadcasting RF, the FCC has a say in
what you do.
