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.
