Doesn't the potential & practicability of this idea depend on the capability of
wireless cards and drivers supporting them? Do we know if wireless network card
would allow node to be part of Infrastructure network and also transmit
broadcast packets on another channel / network? How much can a device driver
control the wireless network card? Can it control transmissions per packet
basis?
