There is a central problem of multiple 802.11 stacks that I very much want to avoid. linux-wlan-ng, HostAP, madwifi, and one or two others. I had hoped that HostAP would be submitted, and that could form the basis of a common 802.11 stack, but I haven't heard anything about that in many weeks. Jeff
