I am trying to figure out the AirDrop workflows and harvest the convenience in placing this practice into several non-apple devices with "AirSpeed" Or is there any way to send data wirelessly in a speed fast enough that is no far from AirDrop? I was astonished by send gigabytes in few seconds from my first macbook to others

Any kind of reply would help, and thank you for your precious work!

Read README.md. TL;DR yes, but you need a wifi card that supports "active monitor mode" - I ran this kinda sucessfully on my Ubuntu, but I've only sucessfully received now - not send

Roger. Thank you

iw list | grep "active monitor" is probably fastest way to check for this mode, tho I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate - probably yes :ok_hand:
