Well, not the WHOLE driver. I'm - as said - up to the point where i have 
a running (re-)implementation of "ctlIssueCommand", so i can use all the 
Interrogate/Configure-Commands (and the other stuff, too).

I mainly read the correct FWrev ("Rev 1.5" or somewhat like that), so 
actually, my interface to the microcode on the card is working.

Hm, actually, i never used it as an AP. I have a DWL650Ap+ (?, the thing 
with the switch inside, almost the same hardware), but i'd like to build 
a "kismet-box", using a sniffing wlan card (well, i still hope i somehow 
can get the acx-100 - somewhere in the future - into monitoring mode... 
well, that are my *dreams* ... :), 5v power supply and maybe a gps inside.

The DWL900AP+ is, if there weren't the ACX100, very well suited for 
that. So the first thing i did after receiving the AP was to open it, 
solder in the JTAG-jumper and having some fun :)
