I am unable to determine exactly what wifi chipset it has. I'm thinking since it's an Intel WM65 motherboard chipset that the wifi is probably intel. But I can't tell from any of the specs anywhere out there in the googlewebs. Even if it is Intel, there's a strong chance master mode is not supported with the drivers available in Linux. At least that was pretty much the case last time I looked into using Intel wifi stuff on my routerstation pro. But if that's the case, no matter. i'll just take a stock cheap access point and turn off dhcp and stick plug it into my network. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
