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.
