I think it would be best if you made the firmware not be aware of a

I don't know if that's possible.
Please not, for now. We need someone p

For 3945 a lot of functionalities were moved to the driver level, what
kept in the firmware is basically some timely related functions like
beacon in IBSS mode but the beacon frame is provided by the driver and
the firmware is responsible to send it according to the timing
constrains. Also scan
s well as giving the cards much more
capability and flexability.)

There are many different functions in a complete 802.11 implementation -
and different implementations put these functions in different places.
In general, I would consider the primary difference between a "full-mac"
card and others to be the locat

I dunno - the last time I checked atmel, it seemed to have quite a bit of
softmac code. If atmel isn't actually a softmac card, um.. I dunno. What
parts of it is fullmac?
