Yes, we started with this device because it's cheap and easy to find,
so more people can test this and contribute. We intend to support any
softmac device with a driver using mac80211.

Yes, basically support the mesh interface type and make sure mesh (WDS
type) frames are not filtered out and are acknowledged (otherwise you
get tons of duplicates).

Apart from that, this driver did not support beaconing, so we had to
add that too. Fortunately the GPL vendor driver is quite complete so
we could port the features from there.

Thanks for the comments, I will include them as well as Johannes' and
resend the patches.
