sorry but I have not worked with this for a while now, After some
thoughts I dont think using netgraph will do me any good, because
traffic can still flow through the antennas of the cards.
If you think it would still be useful to see more ddb prompt for other
scenarios I am happy to try and supply that, but I won't have some
free time until late tomorrow :)
thnx again!
