Well, we now have a new version of Wireless Tools that support that. However, this is blocked because the necessary kernel patch has not gone yet in the kernel. I've sent the patch to John twice, with you in cc for the last occurence. It seems that John for some reason does not receive e-mail from me, or something else. This was the last time : http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=119022849315111&w=2 So, would you mind pushing yourself this patch to John ? Thanks in advance...
