The only caveat is that you will have to use ad-hoc mode rather than
infrastructure mode (putting a wi cart into infrastructure _server_ mode
is not possible with open-source software right now), and you can't use
them in bridging configurations because they cannot do promiscuous
transmit (every packet they send must have the local card's ethernet
address).
