I'd actually like more information about this, as I always considered
802.11 devices as simple packet devices - you give tham an ethernet
packet, and they deliver it to all the other 802.11 devices in range.  I
thought they took care of the physical layer completely.

Is there something more to 802.11 devices that I wouldn't have to deal
with on, say, an NE2000 ethernet card?

Thanks for the info!
