Click comes with implementations of 802.11 encapsulation/decapsulation
and simple (plaintext or WEP, wpa has not been implemented, single ap
(no WDS)) access point and station functionality.

I am using this myself to provide an access point using a Ralink rt73
USB dongle on linux, using the rt73 driver in monitor+inject mode.  The
only problem I have with this is that when running click in usermode, I
am able to rather easily flood the radio interface with packets and
break the interface.  If you are running click to provide an access
point, I suggest you route it to your other network, and don't bridge
your wireless to your wired net.
