I also think that there is a lack of knowledge on the architecture of

are always people who claim that the kernel already has a 802.11
'stack'.
This last sentence, regardless of the source, is simply playing with words.
We have 802.11 common code in the kernel, that several drivers are
using. Future drivers should modify that common code to suit their
needs, rather than dropping it and starting from scratch.
