I'm no expert on this driver because I never really used it (just had a quick
look through the code) but why do you think it is layer 2.5 ?
The page you provided clearly says:
open80211s is based on the mac80211 wireless stack and should run on any of
the wireless cards that mac80211 supports.
Seems it does not run over ethernet/VPNs/other_layer2 ...
Maybe you confused it with the layers inside of the linux wifi stack ?

Marek
