We could use the one mac80211 exports. This has been on my TODO
list for quite some time. But given the other problems we still
have, this hasn't been the highest priority. There is no bug here,
the only issue is that resource usage is a little bit higher. The
warning is from my point of view useless, because it is always
shown regardless whether there is a problem or not.
