Another idea here is we can provide a configfs frontend to cfg80211 therefore any device which implements cfg80211 will automagically have a userspace frontend (/configfs/wireless/foo) ready to test cfg80211. With this we wouldn't have to wait for the next userspace nl80211 application to start testing cfg80211 directly (without wireless extensions compat). A configfs frontend can also allow more rapid development of userspace interfaces to configure wireless devices through cfg80211. Comments?
