Not really. In general, there's a lot more to it. Depending on which part you use, you may or may not need to provide the MAC level interface in software. There are a handful of newer parts with either open or reverse engineered interfaces one could start from, but it's a non-trivial effort. A lot of the embedded capable parts hook up via SPI or SDIO, so there is a somewhat platform specific element in many cases as well. > 2) Any comments on the additional work required to support > WEP/WPA? A lot of the chips include it in their internal firmware. --Chris -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
