Ok, I found workaround for my problem. I'm using a VM with a small
linux distro inside. The networking interface is bridge to the wlan
interface. With this setup I can have some services running and have
real traffic over the 'link'. Not really lightweight, but well, I
guess hardware vendors like this approach.
