Hi!

Last weekend we have started to rewrite the whole code based on
rtl8187's softmac driver.
The wlan0 device init with it's own mac is ok, but thats all so far. I
think it would be more sane to just drop the
old driver now (it would take more work the correct the old one), and
create a new svn branch for the softmac
only brand new one.
