The PS3 wireless device does the association and 4way handshake in its
firmware/hypervisor.  No interventions between them are allowed to the guest
OSes.  
All frames which are sent/received from/to before the connection process
completed seems to be dropped by the hardware.  Only the static WEP is
supported.
