Summing it up, WLAN has a "no simple implementations possible" rule

I'm not sure that is entirely accurate characterization. I think
you'll find (certainly the hardware mfrs claim this) that the reason
low-level chipset details are proprietary is because revealing them
would allow you to write software that voids the module's type
approval. (Power and frequency allocation are restricted by geographic
area). Therefore the hardware vendors force you to treat WiFi as a
black box unless you're an OS vendor or huge-scale OEM.

Bluetooth, by contrast, is the same worldwide (AFAIK).
