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
