Anybody working on 802.11 generic framework?

Greetings,

I've been told that newer chipsets are more "winmodem"-like for the
802.11{a,b,g,ti's22mbs} cards.  These cards generally just give you
beacon packets and nothing else (maybe ack too).  This, coupled with
HostAP mode, means it might make sense to have a generic 802.11 stack
in the kernel to deal with the MAC layer issues that future drivers
will require.

Has anybody else thought of this?  Anybody working on it?

Warner
