Is the 802.11s Draft 1.0 spec publicly available yet? It is supposed
to be making changes at the very lowest MAC layers. It will be hard to
be compatible with that from user space.

Good point, it's not possible to implement this without changes to the
MAC.

The software doesn't have to be written but there should be at least
some design work done on how 11s should fit into the existing world
for both a firmware and software implementation. I'd hate to see a
different implementation for each vendor and another one for the
software stack.

Then we'll first have to find those vendors interested in actually
changing their MAC to allow .11s I guess.
