Well no. But I think we should try hard to make users not use this, yet.
Something that is not IEEE 802.11 compliant is not what everybody should use.
There's enough noise in the air that disturbs wireless. I don't want
to have yet another neighbour installing yet another broken thing. ;)

Maybe more. I don't really know.
I was going to look into this, but I was pushed back a little bit
by some hardware and software defects. I probably need to get new
hardware first.
