Do you mean for 3.0? I was thinking of getting this into 3.1, didn't
even consider 3.0.

We are maintaining still maintaining the staging driver and fixing the
critical issues until the cleaned up driver is merged.

The testmode support got broke when the private ioctl interfaces were
removed from the driver. I had people asking me how to use testmode
and when I started implementing it through nl80211 testmode interface.
So this was a feature regression.

The cleanup of the driver is happening here:
