Unfortunately, content of upstream ieee80211.c is different - it doesn't contain .11n and wmm pieces, etc. But even if it can be applied upstream, it doesn't solve anything. Imagine a patch which was merged into wireless-dev before this restructuring and which is not upstream. Merging it upstream would mean taking the patch from wireless-dev git and manually modifying it to fit a new structure. And we have a bunch of such patches which should go to 2.6.24 (yes, I really mean .24). Perhaps I'm lazy, but I'd like to avoid that. It's going to be a lot of unpleasant work even without this...
