Never submitted AFAIK, but regardless...

There is a central problem of multiple 802.11 stacks that I very much 
want to avoid.  linux-wlan-ng, HostAP, madwifi, and one or two others.

I had hoped that HostAP would be submitted, and that could form the 
basis of a common 802.11 stack, but I haven't heard anything about that 
in many weeks.

It will be.. WPA2 distracted me from this preparation, but I will try to
get back to cleaning up the Host AP driver for 2.6. Actually, I might
consider submitting it first without CCMP (AES-counter with CBC-MAC),
because that is the part that is likely to take most time to convert for
crypto API and this can be easily added separately.
