Taking into account that nowadays there are many other chipsets that
provide much less restricted access to sending and receiving raw IEEE
802.11 frames, I don't see much point in trying to do tricks like using
Aux port memory access with Prism2.. It is trivial to implement raw
packet sending with many of the cards with no (or minimal) firmware and
everything done in the driver.
