Nope, only hostapd.

We are using it currently with the 2.6.22-rc2 wireless-dev git release
from serial monkey. We've tried both 0.6.0 and 0.5.8, Both work well,
but the wireless drivers are not stable yet. -rc4 completely broke
them. Rumors of -rc5 will be better.

The chipset that seems to work best so far is rt2570. Found in older
D-Link USB sticks.
