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. johannes
