Yes, there is even more duplicated code if you factor in the (de-)fragmentation and deaggregation code from mac80211. Furthermore r92su could be sharing a bit of infrastructure with rtlwifi. I didn't include lib80211 since it reports mic failures via WEXT: wireless_send_event(dev, IWEVMICHAELMICFAILURE, &wrqu, (char *)&ev); (And I don't think this can be changed easily without touching ipw2200 and hostap-driver).
