I'm not interested in having a binary driver but in simulation of mobile networks with virtual machines. By placing a virtual driver into the mac80211 layer the sollution would be totally transparent for the clients, even for applications with Radiotap headers and Libpcap. A central server would be connected to the userspace parts of the virtual driver and simulate connections between the VMs. Henning Rogge - 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
