Hi,

Ok, after looking at it it seems that I missed one part.

I've modified the patch to check all the interfaces for 802.11
support and added a check to do only send packets if the device
is associated.

It should work in theorie. I'm glad to hear if it works
for you, if any of you use FreeBSD and has a 802.11 device
around.
