+<p>Build a "packet fuzzer" tool that can be used to build test suites to
+  improve reliability of the 802.11 code against garbage data.  There are
+  various tools out but I'm not aware of any good ones that work with 802.11
+  and are generally available.  The basic idea is to write a packet
+  injector/playback tool that's driven by a scripting language.  Then you
+  need to build up a database of test cases.  It's also possibly important
+  to do time-based playback.</p>
