You've not seen the existing one I take it ? :)
It's likely a lot less effort to beat the new driver into shape
than to fix up the mess of the old driver, which reinvented
a whole bunch of things the kernel has, and looked like a mangled
windows driver the last time I saw it.

The rewrite takes advantage of things like the in-kernel 80211 core,
and has been written with kernel style in mind.  There may still
be some nits, but it's defintly going in the right direction.
