What kernel version is this targetted at?  Have the mac80211 bits
reached feature parity with the softmac bits?  I'm still hearing quite a
few reports of mac80211 being flaky WRT WEXT implementation and
compatibility.  I don't necessarily object, I just want to make sure
that when this patch hits released kernels, that the mac80211 port is in
the same or better shape than the softmac one.
