Hi Folks,
    First off, thanks for the many votes of confidence. Whilst I'd like 
to see wpi support in 7.0, there's still a long way to go before it 
becomes stable. At present it can *almost* pass packets but there's 
still a few race conditions that exist and there is currently 
limited/untested support for ibss or hostap modes. Since 7.0-Current is 
already in a code freeze, I wouldn't get your hopes up... chances are 
slim at best.

Cheers,
    Benjamin
