I think Intel mentioned that they have run some Wi-Fi certification
tests with mac80211. Don't know if it were the official certification
or what.
Nokia N800 and N810 are certified, but we had a proprietary driver and
supplicant. The certification is painful, I recommend reserving lots
of time for it.
