For transmitting standards-compliant 802.11b frames from the USRP1 you
really are constrained by the USB link. I don't know if anyone has tried to
implement doing the transmit-side spreading in the USRP1's FPGA, but that is
likely the only way you'll get it to transmit anything commercial 802.11
radio's will be able to receive. I have no idea if there's enough room left
on the FPGA to implement that, but if you're comfortable with Verilog, it's
worth a shot.

 For using the 3.2 release with the BBN code, you can use my branch on
CGRAN:
https://www.cgran.org/browser/projects/bbn_80211/branches/douggeiger
 It should build with current trunk, and 3.2 branches of GNURadio.
