airtools are tools that let you investigate which

You didn't set a channel, ssid or bring the interface up. You don't
need a IP address. Maybe you also have a lucent card, which doesn't
support this. You likely didn't setup bridging, and there may be some
other issues still with the code. :-)
However, having said all that, it doesn't work for me yet under ideal
condititions. Something screwey is going on with hostap that I've not
been able to track down. Maybe something I screwed up in the merging
things into the tree. I don't know. I get 1/2 associated and can't
pass any traffic. A friend that I'm working with can pass traffic,
but not broadcasts. I don't completely understand this...
