* Modern Configuration API for Wireless Networking
The wireless extensions API is universally hated by wireless developers on both sides of the user/kernel divide. Fortunately the cfg80211 API is maturing as a modern alternative. What is needed is for drivers (both new and old) to adopt cfg80211 as their configuration mechanism so that the long wireless extensions nightmare can finally end.
