Point taken.  I'll apply a series of patches to eliminate the extra
directory.  I guess I'll rename the existing bcm43xx and zd1211rw
drivers in wireless-dev as a temporary measure until those ports are
done upstream.

I would definitely like to see more action from mac80211 driver
developers towards getting drivers upstream.  With mac80211 merged,
I know of no reason not to get the drivers ready for upstream now so
they can funnel through netdev-2.6 into -mm with plenty of time to
spare before the next merge window.
