How about stuffing it in something like:

include/linux/wlandevice.h

Is there a benefit to having a module for it as this time?

Which reminds me, net/ieee80211/ should be ipw'ized now that the
old softmac drivers are gone.

Whatever these suckers are using can probably be slapped in there as
well. But yea -- we just need to get it done huh.

Thoughts?
