Hello!

Is there _anyone_ responsable for the wireless (802.11*) drivers in the Linux kernel?

I would like to have the following things (if possible) for all wireless drivers:

- easy interface = support for wireless tools
- compatibility with 2.5/2.6 modul interface
- support for AP-Master/AP/Ad-Hoc/Monitor Modus (like HostAP can do)
- device naming scheme should be wlanX -> easier to see what it is
- support for external encryption (kernel modules/user space) like WLSec

Have a nice day,

Nico

P.S.: Sorry for the crosspost!
