A lot; basically, we can't touch the low-level WiFi stuff. However, the
WiFi card is replaceable (as far as I've understood), so once we manage
to get open firmware for any card, we can use that. So it's "just" a
matter of convincing someone to open up their firmware...

Outside, inside, all over the place :(
