I think that Sony laptops have real Lucent Orinoco card, e.g.: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/66696/comments/11 Porting Orinoco driver to mac80211 would be a fun project, and I don't think it's impossible. It should be possible to dumb down the card, turn off scanning and authentication and send raw packets. I'm not sure if the firmware support would be needed, but Lucent 9.xx firmware has WPA support. Since it's RAM loadable, the firmware loading will need to be added. Fortunately, the implementation already exists in the now defunct HermesAP project. I have way too much stuff on my plate to even attempt it myself, but I would not discourage others. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
