Yes - but which of the wireless settings can currently be supported?

I've checked into libpcap changes to support monitor mode on Linux, *BSD, and
OS X, but I'm still working on changes to get the supported channels and set
them; I don't know whether WinPcap will support them on Windows Vista, where
there are APIs to turn on monitor mode and set the channel, and I don't know
whether Microsoft will backport any of the "native 802.11" stuff to XP to allow
it to work on XP as well.
