cfg80211/nl80211 is no further for fullmac drivers than a year ago, all
work it got so far is for hostapd.

I have a fairly decent plan how to add association/... support but it
lacks execution because it's completely boring work that doesn't buy us
any new features since we still have to support wext.

I think with the last patchset from Ron it's mostly done, cleanups still
to do and probably QoS improvements (I'm thinking multiqueue netdevs
here)

Nobody is working on this, but a good part is done since hostapd works
and the userspace MLME needs many of the same features. Again, the
biggest thing is cfg80211/nl80211 support, setting a device to userspace
MLME mode and implementing the communication.
