That's a bit optimistic that attach and firmware loading is half of the work no ?

I guess your work only focus on one (used by iwlwifi), do you know how many drivers used the same one ? What about FullMAC drivers like the SDIO broadcom one used in many ARM SBC, is that using the same framework ? > The hope is that we?ll have full 11ac before the end of the year.
