Hey Viddy,

Yeah, as with the original intersil code from which prism54 came out
from, this code uses no wireless extensions so you can't use the
wireless tools on it. They provided [g|s]etoid tools though. You can use
those but then you'll have to try to figure out what each oid does and
how to interact with them (you can only do this right now by looking at
the code).

We should play with this code as an exercise but we should realize that
Conexant may also soon provide us a nice more updated version of the
source.

	Luis
