I do argue that these points are not relevant to the question
of  whether or not a strict stack model of 802.11 management
and encapsulation procedures will suffice for anything more
than the most basic functionality.   That is an interesting question
that deserves an answer.

Agreed.

Personally, I think it will be necessary to have more shared information 
and procedures between
driver and 802.11 stack than is convenient or elegant in a strict stack 
arrangement.
 But, I've been wrong before.
Perhaps a fresh start with unbiased implementation will do something 
wonderful.

That's precisely what I want -- an elegant strict stack arrangement :)

Since DaveM's template is _the_ net stack, I'm worried that BSD 
compatibility will only slow development and encumber innovation. 
Surely they can watch what we're doing, learn from our mistakes, and do 
something even better :)
