zd1211rw-mac80211 does not currently add anything to the user experience 
over the existing driver, other than automatic rate adaption which is 
nice but hasn't proven itself to be of much importance given that the 
existing driver has lots of happy users and has never done it.
Ok.
Also, this merge has been proposed in a form other than what me and 
Ulrich were envisioning (at least from earlier discussions). We want to 
convert drivers/net/wireless/zd1211rw to mac80211 directly. This would 
also avoid a rename and I think would save some hassle.

Sorry to be a pain, but I really would like some more time to catch up 
and make some last changes. I haven't yet even looked at Johannes' 
minimal filter flags implementation in the driver or Michael's fix.

Would you agree to let this wait until 2.6.25? You can hold me to that, 
although Ulrich should also comment on if he thinks he'd be ready by then.
Fair enough, I'll remove the Z1211 driver during my next rebase.
