I think John W. Linville already committed my patch that removes 
the line completely. It's in 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git, 
branch libertas-fixes


> process_rxed_802_11_packet is never called at the moment

I also noticed yesterday that process_rxed_802_11_packet() is 
never called, because no-one sets adapter->linkmode. So I posted 
a patch to libertas-dev and linux-wireless-dev to remove this 
variable as well as the code around it. I also found out lot's 
of other variables that weren't really used, and posted 
remove-XYZ patches. Please comment on which you want to stay 
because you/we plan to build an actual interface around them.

When is "is coming out soon" ???  If it's really soon, we 
shouldn't maybe commit my remove adapter->linkmode patch :-)
