(i also need to find some wl12xx card in order to actually test the patches once i'll have them...) we do have to make sure these wl18xx bindings are future-compatible with the wl12xx ones, but i think the current bindings are pretty much standard (and are actually a subset of the bindings needed by wl12xx), so it should be fine.
