| Ed,
| 
| Yeah, I'm still working on it.. The project just expanded more than I
| originally anticipated though. Basically, I decided that instead of
| modifying WirelessDriver to work with bsd-airtools I'm going to port the
| openbsd if_wi driver to darwin.
| 
| The basic goal of this is to create a fully *bsd compatible driver that runs
| on darwin so that additions and fixes to the generic *bsd if_wi driver can
| easily be merged into the darwin driver (this includes hostap support and
| all of the other nifty features). The other downside/upside of this is that
| you will be able to use wicontrol to configure your interface from console
| as well as have basic ioctl compatibility with pretty much any *bsd apps
| that utilize the if_wi driver. I'm also hoping that the framework that I put
| together will aid in porting other generic *bsd drivers to darwin
| (essentially the driver is just creating it's basic c++ hooks into the OS
| and interfacing directly with the c driver functions to create a relay).
| 
| AirDriver should be finished soon, but I don't really want to give any
| estimates since I'm a newbie when it comes to driver coding and c++ in
| general. Just wanted to let everyone know that the project isn't dead and
| that it's going to really kick ass when it's finished.
| 
| Cheers,
| -h1kari
