Not from me, unfortunately. I'm not really interested into getting full 
cfg80211 into Libertas. That is, until either _one_ of this two options 
happen:

* someone that actually uses/wants the proprietary Libertas mesh steps  
forward and says "We'll look after this and make it work with cfg80211"
* we remove the proprietary Libertas mesh support

That is: I won't work on Libertas mesh. I can't justify this time investment 
with my employer for something that I'll never need. For my device, my own 
version of Libertas + cfg80211 (without any WEXT anymore) works quite nice.


So, if neither of the above things happens, then Libertas will work for the 
rest of the world with WEXT, as it did before.
