Ding ding. We have a winner.

I have some friends who DO have the hardware hacking skills. Basically, I want to build an ethernet adapter into a floppy adapter's chassis, and use some of the unused address/data pins on the PDS connector to allow a custom control panel and extension to modify the settings on a WiFi chipset directly. The control panel handles SSID and encryption settings, and the Duo otherwise thinks it's got an Ethernet adapter stuck to it.

Am I crazy? I understand that from a software perspective, I've got my work cut out for me.
