there is really nothing much to discuss on this topic. The plan is to
deprecate WEXT, that simple. So if the driver has no cfg80211 support,
then it will not be included. Period.
Send such drivers off to staging and let them have their 6 month. Then
we either remove them again or they got ported to cfg80211.
Regards
Marcel
