Hi,
   In case anyone has not been following recent security news there
has been a rash of reported security vulnerabilities with various
wireless drivers and this might well affect some Linux users as
well.
   Have a look at:- 
      http://www.infoworld.com/article/06/11/24/48OPsecadvise_1.html

In part it says:- "Wireless network card drivers have been under 
attack since the Black Hat USA 2006 conference, and nearly 
every super-popular driver now appears vulnerable."
