Is there any particular reason why this driver is in drivers/net instead
of drivers/net/wireless (along with all other wireless drivers?

Additionally, all other mac80211 drivers depend on mac80211 instead
of selecting it. So I think for consistency it might be better to also
make this driver depend on it, rather then selecting.
