Hi all,

Injection works fine under Linux with hostap module :-D

In fact, I started  to code a new mode, but  after some experiments with
hostap, I am not sure it is  really useful as you can prepare the device
to send frames  using iwpriv and iwconfig  only. I dont think  it is the
role of  libnet to  create a  device (which is  required with  hostap to
inject packets). Hence, I prefer to rest on outside scripts (a short one
is provided in sample/hostap.sh).

However, it only  supports 802.11b, with no encryption. I  am working on
these two stuff.

About  encryption, I  was thinking  to  add a  new structure  (something
called libnet_transform_t) which would be  a transformer for a packet. A
transformer could  be either  encryption, digest or  compression. Having
such a general structure would let  us easily any needed algorithm, like
those supported for 802.11, but also IPSec for instance.

Enjoy,

PS: for  those who would like  to go to CanSecWest/Core  05, my magazine
(called  MISC)  have started  a  contest:  write an  article  (3500-4000
words), and  the best one  will be published and  its author will  go to
Vancouver.
