We get poked every now and then for Android support for mac80211 or
cfg80211 drivers. Since the questions is quite common I figured It'd

If you already have worked on this or are going to please feel free to
update the wiki so no one else re-invents the wheel.

I don't think it's good to advocate a custom driver.  They should be able
to use stock wpa_supplicant w/ nl80211 and put the extensions in the
hardware layer.
