So there are a few more todo items now:
 1) adjust wpa_supplicant accordingly; I don't quite understand the
    structure. Why is there src/drivers/* (for wpa_supplicant) and
    src/hostapd/drivers* for hostapd?
 2) make sure that we don't copy each packet before stuffing it into a
    monitor interface. we now throw away packets with BPF but we've
    already copied them, that's rather wasteful. We should be able to
    get by using clones.
