The MadWifi team? It won't happen today or tomorrow, but I'm confident 
that it will happen. Any contribution to that effort is highly welcome - 
the more people help, the faster will the goal be reached.

You referred to the archives where that exact "issue"(s) (binary-only, 
non-free, no sources, unwanted level of abstraction) has/have been 
discussed in lenght, but you claim you didn't have a clue what David was
