Huh?  We already have a wext fronted to nicely test cfg80211, what we
need are backends.  In addition to that I think we should agree on
one primary userspace configuration method for the future instead of
adding lots of them just because it's so easy.  If the public opinion
has changed 180 degrees and configs is preferred over nl80211 that's
fine by me as long as the implementation is sane..
