    I don't know if you can set up the ZoomAir cards as an access point.
    Certainly the Lucent/Buffalo (Hermes) cards I've used don't have access
    point capability under Linux as I don't think Lucent ever released the
    specs on how to get the cards into AP mode.

    Lots of the /proc/net/wireless stats only make sense if you are talking to
    a single access point. If you are in one of the ad-hoc modes then they
    don't record any stats.
