If you're a college student and interested in FPGA design & network security, please take a look at the education link at the top of page for this article. Thank you!
Thank you for writing this article and for the great project.Do you have any plans for opensource wireless chips 802.11?
Thank you. We have plans to connect an 802.11 card/module (probably M.2 via PCIe) to the FPGA and manage it from the ARM processor. This can be done as a daughter card. We're looking for the right 802.11 module that is a good choice for an embedded system like this (not Windows / *nix).
Wouldn't that run into regulatory issues?
If you wanted to sell them for general use you'd need to get the government stamp of approval on interference testing.
