merging adm8211

Hi,
 I've been looking at the recent 802.11 work in the -mm tree, and it's looking 
good so far. However, it doesn't seem to have the authentication/ 
association/scanning stuff that the adm8211 needs. I remember that was 
suppose to be done in userspace, but the current code doesn't seem to have 
anything like it.

 So.. is any work being done on it? Does that code have to be strictly in 
userspace? I'm not sure I like having to run a daemon for only certain 
wireless cards. I'd rather have a minimal set of 802.11 station/management 
functionality in the kernel for basic managed/adhoc/monitor/WEP features, 
while restricting the use of WPA/HostAP/etc. to userspace. But, I have no 
problems either way. I'd just like to know the current state of things and 
what people are working on..

Thanks,
-Michael Wu
