    you can make an Orinoco card remotely reboot in Linux and Blue Screen in
    Windows by sending a continues stream to it from multiple hosts. It was seen
    several times at DefCon this weekend.

    Exploit? I thought just setting your card to continuously transmit would be
    enough to kill a network. Ofcourse, if they use a different frequency that
    wouldn't work.

    Tried a microwave?
