I have tried wifibox (great project, by the way) but I did not even get 
that far.

I get a kernel crash. I think it is some conflict with the drm graphics 
drivers, if I don't load the drm module, wifibox starts but doesn't 
work, probably because of the issue mentioned above. Since the laptop is 
not very useful without drm drivers I gave up on wifibox at that point.

This was on -CURRENT a couple of weeks ago. If anyone is interested in 
debugging the crash I could try again.
