Right now I'm reading your source code to understand your code. In= the future I'm interested in extending (may be I would have to hack so= mehow) your code. Currently I'm most familiar with upper level usage of= WLAN - especially Ad Hoc mode. Now I got a possibility to dig into the= linux kernel and into the maclayer of WLAN for the next years / month = during my phd thesis.
