There is currently no single way of doing this. Different drivers expect different endian formats, have different capabilities, different injection formats, etc. Josh Wright and I have been working on a library to make a common injection layer across the drivers, until whatever day in the future they unify. The public svn source is at: svn co https://felloffthebackofatruck.com/svn/tx-80211/trunk I also just recently added a demo app which links the library to a tuntap interface for doing what you mentioned, however it obviously doesn't solve the differing endian issues. -m -- Mike Kershaw/Dragorn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Fingerprint: 3546 89DF 3C9D ED80 3381 A661 D7B2 8822 738B BDB1 "Remember the book store down the road?
