This is not what my (dated) webpage says -- it says that it is
possible to use wl12xx *instead* of the vendor driver with Android.

Have a look at the AOSP code to know for yourself which drivers
Android uses.  Source for drivers is generally available but last time
I looked (and it was quite a while ago) the two main drivers, TI and
broadcom, used their own WEXT ioctls and not cfg80211 etc.  Maybe this
has changed since, I don't know.
