But whatever supplicant Intel opens up eventually would likely work fine with that chip, just not with the Nokia-written driver. I'm sure Intel wouldn't mind somebody porting the SPI bus support from the Nokia driver over to the i2400m kernel driver. Or, port the Intel iwmc3200 SDIO/SPI support (in 2.6.32) to the i2400m or something. Assuming the firmware interfaces are similar. Dan
