Hello,

wanted to tell you that just released Nokia N900 is using mac80211 and
wl1251 driver. The kernel is 2.6.28 with few wireless related patches
backported from newer releases and some hacks related to roaming.

Hey, that is cool!  Let's hope other manufacturers learn to embrace
the open code in the kernel and abandon closed-source options that
merely reimplement functionality that we already provide.

Let's also hope that this continues to motivate Nokia to support you
are your coworkers in making strong contributions to the kernel in
wireless and other areas.

Thanks!

John
