badfusion, your offer is tempting, simply because packet injection = awesome.

But my ethics lead me to discourage you from doing it. I don't really like the developer's approach to this, but as I said in other posts, I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt - and so far, I feel more on his side than on the side of most people who b!tched in the first ten-twenty pages of this thread about his missed initial delivery date.

At any rate, I do wish he just open sourced what he's working on currently from the get-go. But now that he hasn't, you breaking an implicit promise (which you DO implicitly make when you pay for inclusion in the private beta - there may have been no legal terms to call you on it, but morally it is there) isn't that much better. By buying access to the private beta, or 'donating enough to be granted access to the private beta', however you want to word that, you are presenting yourself as someone who in good faith intends to keep the private beta private. Even if you don't accept that premise, it's still against the wishes of the person from who you're getting the program(s)+driver, and since his wishes are not too inherently unethical, I personally thing going against them by uploading the stuff puts you in the moral wrong.

- EDIT -

Hoggerz says he's been able to send deauth packets (as in for deauthorizing a client connected to a network). Based on what he said (I myself am not an expert) this means that at least some injection is working. Whether or not all of it is working, or not, is another matter, but if it's working at all, then it should be a matter of time before it works in every application.
