  Yep and it is working just fine in client mode with the airo_cs
  driver.  WEP128 and all.

  Guess I will be looking for a new card or AP to work on my home lan.
  I was really hoping to hear more on the cards everyone has tried
  here and maybe even experiences on host_ap usage.  With all the
  wardriving and pringle can antenna stuff I figured folks had also
  tried setting up their own APs as home and would be willing to share
  some of their experiences.  At least I was hoping.

  Thanks anyway,
