The new driver is remarkable, but removal of the staging driver should not be
done quite yet.
The new one in the regular tree lacks a number of features. To quote from its
commit message "This driver is still under development, but has proven to be
very stable for me. It currently supports station mode only. It has support for
OFDM and CCK rates. It does lack certain features found in the staging driver,
such as power management, AMPDU, and 40MHz channel support. In addition it does
not support AD-HOC, AP, and monitor mode support at this point."
