Is there any chance to have this support for Aironet drivers too ? The only way
I can have similar tools for this card is to use Linux, at the moment, which is
sad.

Why is there no generic API for accessing wireless cards ? Are they all that
much different ?

Compared to other wireless NICs, cisco's Aironet are really powerful.
Unfortunately, it lacks all the tools Prism-based cards have.
