I know commercial entities don't want to release unfinished code, but it stays
internally and behind, any internal driver code would just bit-rot,
the rate the kernel/wireless is going.

I already have the 2.4.26-27 change (and posted), and an
untested/unposted 29+ netdev_priv() change,
so merging soon would be good. (and I am available for
contracting/consultancy for more gauranteed work, if that matters).
