My plan is that at76_usb is not going to get that much changes. I have
created a new driver at76c50x-usb which is basically at76_usb plus my
mac80211 port. That way users still have a working driver until
mac80211 port has stabilised.

Yes, please cc also me. I try to keep up-to-date what's happening with
at76-usb so that the same fixes will be fixed in at76c50x-usb as well.

Hopefully I'll send a first version of at76c50-usb soon. Sorry for
taking it so long.

It's nice to see interest for at76_usb, though. I was sure that nobody
uses it anymore.
