Out of curiousity, do you have Hiroshi's source code?
If so, how hard would it be to change the existing driver so that it
uses port (not channel) 1 instead of 3? IIRC, that *should* be
sufficient to put the card into Infrastructure mode and allow it to
connect to a base station or IBSS group.
If so, then it might be a enough of a solution for those of use with
home networks. The likely problem would be that the Newt would want to
connect to the "closest" base station (i.e., the equivalent of setting
the Network Name to "Any").
