Why yet another attempt to write 802.11 stack? Sure, the one currently
in the kernel is unusable and everybody knows about it. But why not to
improve code opensourced by Devicescape some time ago instead of
inventing the wheel again and again?
Or, in case there is some unknown objection to the mentioned code: use
the 802.11 stack that comes along with MadWifi, which provides things
like virtual interfaces (for multiple SSID support on one physical card)
and WPA support.
Although I'm a bit biased towards MadWifi, I'd second your suggestion to
make use of the Devicescape code. The benefit of having a fully-blown
802.11 stack in the kernel that drivers can make use of has been
discussed before, so I won't go into that yet again.
Use the stack that's already in the kernel.
Encouraging otherwise hinders continued wireless progress under Linux.
