[ltp] Wireless Card

Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG just works, but it's a pain in the ass. Iwspy
doesn't work (function disabled by firmware) and WPA/TKIP should work, but i
can't get it to run. In order to use WPA with shared key auth and TKIP you
have to dl and configure wpa_supplicant (another pain-in-the-ass software).
Other people also have problems with these functions. I'd take a look at
Prism adapters as it is now.
