1. A method, comprising:
- operating at a first bandwidth in a network of devices capable of operating at the first bandwidth or a second bandwidth; and
transmitting an assertion of intolerance of operation at the first bandwidth to one or more devices on the network if operation using a communication method intolerant to operation at the first bandwidth is desired to cause the one or more devices on the network to switch operation at the second bandwidth.

Abstract
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a device is capable of operating at a first bandwidth or a second bandwidth, and further capable of operating using a communication method intolerant to operation at the first bandwidth. If operation using a communication method intolerant to operation at the first bandwidth is desired, the device transmits an assertion of intolerance of operation at the first bandwidth to one or more devices on the network to cause the one or more devices on the network to switch operation at the second bandwidth.
