Great, thanks a lot for releasing the code! And also for citing us on your
site and in your paper.

A colleague here at FTW, Giammarco Zacheo, is currently working on the
802.11OFDM RX chain, it's tricky (frame-detection and stream-to-block
delineation issues, realtime constraints etc.) but he will make it happen
soon I think.

We would be very much interested to try to combine your work and our efforts
somehow to build a prototypical stack. Something rudimentary - but mature
enough so that it is equipped with the required MAC states. The goal is to
use it for "actual interactive MPDU transactions in realtime but with large
rx/tx latencies" and then glue it to the existing network layer. Are you
interested in a collaboration on that subject?

BTW: do you happen to know if parts of the click modular router are
relevant/reusable for that purpose? I think the guys doing HYDRA (Univ. o.
Texas) use it.

cheers
paul
