On or before June 22, David Maynor and Johnny Cache told reporters about
their wireless hardware crack, and promised to reveal it at Black Hat.
When Black Hat came, they didn't reveal the crack or the hardware.  One
scribe said it was because of legal heat from Apple.

Here we are, almost 2 months later, and still nothing has been revealed.
For all anyone knows, millions of people are vulnerable to the exploit,
but nobody seems to know except for the researchers and a couple of PR
firms milking it for all it's worth.

Has anyone heard anything at all definitive?  Who the manufacturer is,
what drivers are at risk, anything?
