cfg80211/nl80211 - overview, get Johannes to disseminate knowledge
because email isn't optimal for this.  I haven't had enough time to jump
into it yet, but the fact that Johannes is the vast majority of the
effort here is worrisome.  Having a reference implementation (airo,
atmel, maybe libertas) of a fullmac driver ported to cfg80211 would
probably be very useful, even just to get a sense of how the API works.

cfg80211/nl80211 is no further for fullmac drivers than a year ago, all
work it got so far is for hostapd.

I have a fairly decent plan how to add association/... support but it
lacks execution because it's completely boring work that doesn't buy us
any new features since we still have to support wext.

Security setting is a bit  broken. There is a missing separation
between static and dynamic./WPA wep keys.

802.11n - do we need any discussion here or is it just a question of
executing on the current plan?

I think with the last patchset from Ron it's mostly done, cleanups still
to do and probably QoS improvements (I'm thinking multiqueue netdevs
here)

Multiqueue  and  AP mode support is planed. AP mode requires changes
in configuration interface (cfg, wext) and hostapd.

Userspace MLME - what's going on here?  Noise around this seems to be
quieter these days.  Is stuff going according to plan/schedule or are
there roadblocks?

Nobody is working on this, but a good part is done since hostapd works
and the userspace MLME needs many of the same features. Again, the
biggest thing is cfg80211/nl80211 support, setting a device to userspace
MLME mode and implementing the communication.
