Re: want to use mac80211/cfg80211 from kernel tree...

BTW- the reason I'm not using rt2x00 from the kernel tree is that for
some reason scanning is broken.  The reason I'm not using brcm from
compat-wireless is that cross-compiling it is broken and segfaults my
cross-compiler.  So, I want to build these two in two different trees.
