I also very much would like this to work with packet injection, and 
be able to modify the source completely for other reasons.  Though 
I know assembly I've never programmed off a data sheet, I certainly 
could.

So in this case can't we just get the full data sheet for the chip 
and we're off to the races. Program it to do anything we need. 
Third party manu. so I'm assuming the full data sheet is not top 
secret...?

thanks
