| Jouni wrote the first drivers which enable a Linux box to work as a Linux Access Point without requiring special firmware to do it.

His drivers take advantage of a special mode present only in a Prism2Card called HostApMode.
Turns out he's not just the author of the Linux HostApMode drivers for the a Prism2Cards. He also works on HUT's "dynamics" project for MobileIp on Linux at http://www.cs.hut.fi/Research/Dynamics/ and http://dynamics.lifix.fi/ . It would certainly be interesting to see his lab.
