1. A component of a device, comprising:
an interface; and
processor circuitry configured to:
determine identification information of a hardware device operably connected to the component via the interface;
obtain device information for the connected hardware device based on the determined identification information,
wherein the connected hardware device stores initial predetermined operational parameters, and
wherein the device information comprises operational parameters that are separate from a firmware of the connected hardware device and specify configuration settings for operation of the connected hardware device in conjunction with the firmware; and
initialize the connected hardware device based on the obtained device information by overwriting the initial predetermined operational parameters stored in the hardware device with the operational parameters of the obtained device information,
wherein the initial predetermined operational parameters of the connected hardware device identify a radio-frequency (RF) spectrum and transmit power in accordance with first regulatory requirements,
wherein the operational parameters of the obtained device information identify a RF spectrum and transmit power in accordance with second regulatory requirements, and
wherein the first regulatory requirements and the second regulatory requirements are different than one another.
