Could you provide me some hints on how I can do that ?

Note that we will receive in few days Atheros AR5212 chipset-based cards.

Sure, we are planning to do real experimentation (As soon as we receive 
the WLAN cards) based on this code and to post the results and the 
eventually bugs that we will get. At the same time,  we would like also 
to know what it is possible to do with the code and what/how we can 
contribute on it by adding the support of new functionnalities.
