Yes, I know all this story.

One more question. How about such projects as openwrt or dd-wrt?
As I know - on these at least Linksys devices broadcom wireless chipset 
is also used.
I don't know exact version of it, but if linux kernel works on this
device - which driver is used? Your's or some other?
If your's - they somehow forced it to work in "Master" mode?

Sory for my english.

Best regards,

Tomas
