Hmm, how do I tap into that developer pool? :-)

Kohjinsha wifi driver is in state where it was ported to mac80211, and
it still works with minimum features, but it needs dead code removal
and rewriting the rest. That code is really very ugly.

I can do the handholding; I can probably do the rewrite, too (its
10000LoC), but it will take time...
