Only rtl8187se and wlan-ng don't have a mac80211 port.

mac80211 drivers:

agnx		-> http://git.sipsolutions.net/agnx.git
at76_usb	-> replacement already in kernel.org code at drivers/net/wireless/at76c50x-usb.[ch]
otus		-> replacement already in kernel.org code at drivers/net/wireless/ar9170/
rt2860		-> rt2800pci.[ch] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git
rt2870		-> rt2800usb.[ch] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git
rt3070		-> rt2800usb.[ch] http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ivd/rt2x00.git
rtl8187se	-> ???
stlc45xx	-> replacement already in kernel.org code at drivers/net/wireless/p54/p54spi*
winbond		-> http://code.google.com/p/winbondport/
wlan-ng		-> ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/FAQ ???



I hope rt2800pci/usb to be included *ASAP*, because rt2800usb supports
more than 1oo USB devices and rt2800pci is included in a lot of
laptops(ask Torvalds [1] [2])
