Won't 802.11a drivers need this? If so, does it hurt to leave it in for now?

Absolutely correct, they probably will. None of the ones we have,
however, actually uses it, and it uses the management interface we're
trying to get rid of for the notification. The same function should
probably be added back to mac80211 or cfg80211 once somebody actually
wants it, but do the notification
 1) with well-defined arguments (explanation for the two args anyone?)
 2) via nl80211

It doesn't really "hurt" but I'm trying to actually remove the master
interface now and I'm almost there, so this code is in my way.

OK, thanks for the explanation.
