Yes, but I still can't get it to work, seems only certain wireless network cards will work.

May as well take this opportunity to ask... what hardware do I need to get this all working then?
I must admit, I know very little about wireless networking, but I originally assumed I'd just need an access point, which I'd attatch to my existing wired router... but it seems I now need to have a specific network card in the PC that's running Kai...
I only really want to use my PSP, and soon DS... with that in mind, what is the bare minumum hardware I need? Don't really want to buy an entire new network just for the PSP after all!Comment

Basically you need a network card that's dedicated to running Kai on the machine you're using. Now, because we're using PSPs and DSs, that has to be a wireless card, which is set up in Adhoc mode to connect directly to the PSP/DS, whilst the wired network card on the machine connects to the internet.
Kai then tunnels the information being passed from the PSP/DS to the wireless network card through it's software and out through the wired card onto the internet.
The only real problem seems to be that only a limited number of wireless cards are supported, those that run in 'promiscuous' mode. There's a list on the kai forums - www.teamxlink.co.uk - of wireless cards that have been confirmed working.
