I should've elaborated here. What I'd do if I had time now is add things to nl80211/cfg80211 and then implement the calls in mac80211 (or a fullmac driver of your choice.) Then write the appropriate userspace tool for testing and see if it works, i.e. you can associate, do key operations etc. Use WEP for now, and then maybe modify wpa_supplicant too for nl80211. Then, at some point, you have wpa_supplicant working on mac80211 (or the driver). Then in theory you don't need wext any more, and as an afterthought you can still add wext compatibility so the deprecated wireless tools continue to work. johannes
