Hi Johannes,

this driver is not only working, it is also supporting a form factor 
that is usable and is available on the used hardware market.

Is it possible to migrate the driver from lib80211 to libipw?

It does not have to be you who is doing this. How urgent is it to remove 
this driver?

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
