Right now, I use a stock 2.6.25 kernel, with the stock b43 driver and appropriate firmware. I use an up to date Gentoo, x86-32 (even though my CPU could do 64). I've started reading documentation on wireless.kernel.org, and don't understand much of it (nl80211, mac80211, cfg80211... Many things to learn about). Right now I'm stuck at the "setting the card to master mode": iwconfig wlan0 mode master returns "Invalid argument". The card works fine with other modes though. I'm a rookie. However, I'm willing to answer questions/read further documentation/downloading, compiling kernel, modules, user utilities, and testing the lot. So, feel free to mail me!
