I intend to track the d80211 stack, care for the forward porting
and see also a number of things, which should be done for d80211.

- 802.11a support
- better d80211 integration (d80211_tx_status, led stuff)
- cleanups

Daniel your hardware crypto patches should certainly be included
here.

This will make the d80211 driver the development branch and the
mainline driver the maintenance branch. As already stated I intend
care for forwardportsi of the mainline fixes, but IMHO we should
not care to much for backports and backport compatibility.
