Hi John,

Without checking the link first, I can answer 'yes, but...'.

Nut/OS is a powerfull system for _small_ embedded CPUs. So if the WLAN 
module is capable of handling complex encryption itself, the driver 
around can be adopted. If not, some CPUs may have to be excluded from 
the driver or special variants have to be choosen, like SAM7XC instead 
of SAM7X. These are not available anywhere.
