Alexander, thank you for continuing the work on the project! I'm glad to see
those patches being submitted to the mainline kernel.

Several global notes:

1) Could you please include any (virtual or real) device driver
implementing the stack.
There was a "virtual radio" driver written for SoftMAC devices. The
driver had some small
design problems, but I think the stripped down version can be included
in the patchset.

2) Could you please rearrange the patches a little bit:
I'd really like to see the "monitor" devices interface pushed in the
first round of the patches.
It depends only on "simple mlme" and "RX/TX datapath" patches IIRC. It
would be really
good to merge those things first as it would then allow one to
implement their drivers,
check the radio, capture radio frames, etc.

I'll try reviewing patches really soon (as the time permits). However
could you please specify,
your changes over the last state I pushed to sf.net git repos (devel
or devel-30 branches)
to ease review?
