(which is kinda okay when you consider that 802.11i doesn't use shared key) - Both drivers do not support LEAP authentication. - adm8211 supports WE18/WPA (partly via SIWGENIE, it doesn't generate WPA/RSN IEs itself) - rtl8180-sa2400 supports a really simple master mode. (should something like hostapd be used instead for master mode?) - rtl8180-sa2400 supports sending probe responses. adm8211 lets the hardware do it, though newer adm8211 cards can be told to hand it off to the software. - rtl8180-sa2400 creates a completely random bssid in adhoc. adm8211 keeps the first 3 octets from the MAC addr. - adm8211 supports sending & handling deauthentication and disassociation frames. I did not see definitions for those frames, so I assume there's no support there. - adm8211 needs many hooks in scanning/authentication/association to set BSSID/SSID/AID/etc. in hardware. - rtl8180-sa2400 doesn't seem to convert to little endian in a number of places.
