Packet Tracer for CCNA Wireless?

Was hoping to not have to buy any hardware for this exam.
Do any of the emulators have what the CCNA Wireless needs?
Casually looking I did not see any controllers in packet tracer...

Here's one you can do in Packet Tracer -

Put a 2811 router and a laptop on the workspace.

In the 2811 router, add the HWIC-AP-AG-B module to the router in slot 0.
Turn the router back on.
Using the CLI, type the following commands:
Router>en
Router#config t
Router(config)# dot11 ssid ADMIN
Router(config-ssid)#exit
Router(config)# int dot11Radio 0/0/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#no shutdown
Router(config-if)#ssid ADMIN
Router(config-if)#exit

I went to the Laptop, removed the Fast Ethernet module, inserted the
"PT-LAPTOP-NM-1W wireless module, turn the laptop back on.
Under the Config Tab, type in the "SSID" name - ADMIN , Authentication is turned off.
On the router, you need to set up DHCP to give out addresses on the DOT11Radio interface.

Router(config)# ip dhcp excluded-address 172.16.10.1 172.16.10.10
Router(config)# ip dhcp pool Admin
Router(dhcp-config)#network 172.16.10.0 255.255.255.0
Router(dhcp-config)#default-router 172.16.10.1
Router(dhcp-config)#ip name-server 172.16.10.4
Router(config)# exit

Go back to the Laptop, Click on Desktop, check the bullet on Static,
then check the DHCP bullet, laptop will configure its IP stack.

I can now ping successfully from the wireless laptop to the router.
