Thanks.. Johannes.. :)

no, ipw2200 doesn't do d80211. check drivers/net/wireless/d80211/
ok. you are referring to bcm43xx , etc

What do you want a test environment for? That's the key issue. I have a
bunch of wireless hardware and an access point...
lets say we have development happening in d80211 driver. now if i want
to participate in the development of the (d80211), i can do it in a
much better manner if i am trying out modificaitons on my own on the
drivers that are using d80211 (my feeling) e.g. bcm43xx, etc. Hence i
would like to setup a test environment where i can make modifications
in code (of d80211 or related driver) and test it....

Not sure what you mean? Do "the same" what?
same - "participate in development on d80211"
> 2. How frequently would there be changes required in h/w here ?
Umm, never?
You fail to state what you actually want to do...
sorry for that, will surely try to give a complete picture in future
(tried that today again - hope its ok..).
