If these features are implemented in firmware, it should be possible to modify them if using for example Ath5k (which is a completely FOSS Linux driver) Right? Could you give me any directions? Talking about the TDMA implementation I was wondering if it is possible to achieve a time granularity of 1?s using commercial-of-the-shelf wifi cards (e.g. atheros ones). I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts on this matter.
