It looks like to get that to work I would have to download Ben's driver and install. Is there a way to do this or something similar with the cisco drivers? The reason I ask is because I have about 100 users using these cards and a lot of them are converts from windows who still prefer a gui. Using the cisco tools gives them a pretty gui to check connection status with, plus, I already have the drivers installed on most of them.

Javier did implement the necessary interface. In theory, the next version of the Cisco driver should implement Wireless Extensions.
