hi guys!
i read your conversation and have a little comment:

> I think he means: Will it work on my not working Windows
> piece of shit.

*gg* ok... that was funny :-)

> Apparently Robin hasn't heard of VMWare.

why would VMWare be any good to him? ok... you can simulate a linux 
environment, but the wireless device will not be present in the VM. it will 
simply be a hook to the device, however as generic NIC!!

IMHO, even if it was available as (e.g. MadWifi driven) wireless device - 
VMWare wouldn't be capable of transporting the raw data to the windows 
wireless driver as 
 - VMWare is still based on Windows,
 - is just a casual app and
 - has no direct access to the driver's outgoing queues!!

The VMWare NIC would probably try to understand the (RAW data) packets and try 
to interpret them as layer3 TCP packets, trying to send them over the casual 
socket - failing miserably!!

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that was a stupid answer to a not so 
stupid question!!

greetings
