Aparently its headed upstream for 2.6.14. This will make things
much easier, as the out of tree 80211 layer vs in-tree 80211 has
been a pain that prevented further updates. Trying to make this layer
with work all in-tree and out-of-tree drivers is a nightmare.
Given it'll work itself out in time, I'm not investing huge amounts
of effort into bending it so that every driver continues to work.
FC3 will get a backport of this work when it gets upstream.
Dave.
