OSes: sufficiently recent versions of Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
or DragonFlyBSD.  *NOT* Windows.

Drivers: most of the drivers for the BSDs listed on the Wiki page should
support it in sufficiently recent versions of the OS.  The Cisco Aironet
drivers on the BSDs don't.  I don't know what all of the Linux drivers
do, but I think the Aironet drivers don't and the Atheros and Prism
drivers do.

Thanks for the replies.  I will investigate using wireshark and
various wlan cards under linux and BSD and see what happens.
