100mW effective radiative power is legal in the UK, I'm not sure
it is "normal" in the sense of most kit being substantially
lower than this.

If you take unmodified kit and stick a CD behind it, or add a
better directional antenna the radio agency are unlikely to
breathe down your neck. It isn't terribly easy to measure the
ERP of your own kit accurately unless you are very well
equipped, and the rules are to address interference mainly, so
for as long as you cooperate if you're suspected of causing a
problem they are unlikely to be difficult.

Amplification is the main issue AFAICT.

If you are rich you can buy your antenna kit from Intel or
Lucent, and blame them if you exceed legal limits, but it won't
make much difference to the outcome.
