Has it to be a specific feature > or functionality of the wireless card? Yep - the hardware and the driver need to support the feature. I'm pretty sure that most modern adapters do, but the drivers may be a bit behind. FWIW I just tried it on a Broadcomm, and it worked (after the ARP cache timed out!). I'd guess most wireless NICs are fairly new and therefore support it, but you'll just try it and see - and try a different card if the first one doesn't work. It's not something do all the time so I don't have a list. Regards, Frank.
