There are a few fullmac drivers in wireless-testing that use cfg80211. I
don't think these are in the recently released 2.6.31, but are queued
for 2.6.32.

iwmc3200wifi and rndis_wlan are furthest along. orinoco is in the
process of conversion (it uses cfg80211, but relies on the wext
compatibility code for a large portion of functionality).
