pretty cool video of a box that converts a cell phone into a mobile wifi hotspot that the guy in the video uses to use the wipeout pure web browser from his car

http://www.wifi-toys.com/wi-fi.php?a=articles&id=84

now im not totally sure how exactly it connects but im assuming theoretically this could be used for DS multiplayer too although PSP multiplayer failed for some reason

a very useful idea i had was if we can figure out how to recieve from those we could theoretically help people use WifiMe from miles away! of course this would still require a wifi card or a wifi hot spot for the downloader but for those without access to a ralink card could save some money. not to mention from what i know about wifime it works like a ds download so multiple people can download at once.

please correct any impossible statements i made about uploading wifime

PSP games use IPv4 as their layer 3 protocol. DS Download Play and all current Nintendo DS games use Ni-Fi. Commercial routers work with IPv4, not Ni-Fi.

Yes, if there was any radio support in ndslib.

But there isn't, at the moment.
