lets say we have development happening in d80211 driver. now if i want
to participate in the development of the (d80211), i can do it in a
much better manner if i am trying out modificaitons on my own on the
drivers that are using d80211 (my feeling) e.g. bcm43xx, etc. Hence i
would like to setup a test environment where i can make modifications
in code (of d80211 or related driver) and test it....
