I'm going to be at the IEEE 802.11 meeting for the next week which is

the current Host AP code from the viewpoint of what would need to happen
before it can be merged into the kernel tree, the latest version is
available as a snapshot from my CVS tree (pserver or tarball) at
http://hostap.epitest.fi/. The current version is almost 20k lines, so
there is certainly quite a bit of code to review. I hope to get this to
about 15k lines, though, with the crypto API and backwards
compatibility cleanup.

How about submitting a patch, when the CryptoAPI and backcompat cleanups are complete? I will apply to the wireless-2.6 tree, and we can start working on the kernel's overall 802.11 support from there. I don't pretend to be an 802.11 expert, so I'll let you and Jean and other developers drive that end of things. I'm mainly interested in keeping the API simple and clean, and maintainable.
