I pushed for a general "lib80211" sort of thing at the Summit, which I
think was agreed in principle with others like Intel.  We need something
to hold the bits that are common to d80211 and non-softmac drivers.
These include scan result handling, some bits of the regulatory stuff
(at least structures and definitions for allowed channels and txpower in
each domain), and 802.3 <-> 802.11 framing conversion code.  We should
be able to fold more stuff in there as we go along.  But there certainly
will be code that both softmac/d80211 and non-softmac drivers (airo,
ipw2x00, libertas, etc) can share.

ACK
