I haven't had a chance to work on this for some time.  A bunch of
other folks are interested and/or working on it.  I've added two
of the most recently active ones to the Cc: list.

The code in my svn repo [1] is not up to date with all the 802.11
changes in -current.  Status is still that scanning works, but
associating (tx actually) fails with a firmware exception.
Brandon has made some progress on why this is happening, but no
real fix yet I think.
