21 There are quite a lot of new and ported drivers that are already using
22 the new stack which have not been merged in this release, but will get
23 merged in future releases, like the RT2x00 drivers, the bcm43xx driver,
24 zd1211rw, adm8211, rtl818x, Intel iwlwifi (ipw3945 and ipw4965).
25 Distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora already are using them.
