I guess I better look at NoCatAuth -- I don't actually know what it is. ;)

That sounds good.
I was actually thinking,
What is HostAP?
Compiling and Installing
a) firmware that works (and doesn't) b) OSes that work c) steps for PCI (I have), PLX (I don't), PC Card (No laptop on Linux hereyet)
HostAP in Master mode
a) Perhaps WDS, ect
HostAP in Managed and Ad-Hoc mode
Enabling WEP (I assume this'll be the same in Master/Managed/Ad-Hoc) a) perhaps a brief discussion on why WEP isn't that great
Adv topics, including 802.1X and HostAP with FreeRadius, that loading firmware into RAM thingy I don't know much about yet, ect
FAQ
a) things like v1.4.2 firmware being broken
b) how to flash your card
