Please not, for now. We need someone pushing for fullmac features in
d80211, we need those anyway for embedded systems that can't afford
running all of it on the main CPU. While obviously Intel would benefit
from doing this since a lot more d80211 features would come available,
the greater good would be having a main-stream card that someone cares
about and helps making d80211 full-mac capable.
